CERAMIC TINTING
Old bubbly tint film
on my rear windshield
Big bubbles on rear windshield!
Unfortunately, many amateur tint shops achieve their low prices by using substandard materials. Generally speaking, these low-quality films tend to have poor-performing adhesives which fail prematurely.
BRO San Diego tinting uses high-performance, lifetime warrantied window tint. Fortunately, these high-end films use advanced adhesive systems that bond very well to the glass and will outlast the vehicle with proper care.Small pinhole sized bubbles, where did they come from?
Sometimes you may notice small dots in your tint after getting window film applied. Most of the time these bubbles are small specs of dust or lint under the film. A minor amount of this around the edges is normal, even with extremely experienced window tint installers. Contamination is an unavoidable side effect of aftermarket window tint. What you don’t want to see are large clusters of “debris” or large specs directly in your line of sight (as shown in the photos below).
The debris under the film comes from a variety of different sources. Most commonly, this debris is coming from your vehicle. Even vehicles with as low as one hundred miles on the odometer can already be littered with a layer of dust inside and out. Moreover, the older the vehicle, the worse the debris buildup. Additionally, some vehicles have felt seals around the windows that shed lint onto the glass during installation. Unfortunately, the only way to guarantee a “perfect” tint job is to remove the glass from the vehicle and perform the installation in a sealed vacuum chamber. As you can imagine the costs would skyrocket for this type of installation.
What we can do to help you achieve a near-perfect window tint job in San Diego
Our window tint installers in BRO San Diego are trained on how to properly clean the glass beforehand to minimize contamination. Consequently, this greatly reduces the amount of these tiny bubbles. Furthermore, when confronted with felt seals, we use masking tape. While these methods all help to minimize the number of bubbles caused by debris, there will almost always be a couple of imperfections. Here’s a picture of an “industry standard” an acceptable amount of contamination.

Car Tinting FAQs
California Car Windows Tinting Law
CALIFORNIA WINDOW TINTING LAWS | AB-1303 VEHICLES: WINDOW TINTING
As of January 1, 2018, the new law will allow drivers with a note from a dermatologist to apply additional window tint to their car.
Whether you’re considering investing in window tint to keep your car’s interior cooler this summer or simply because tinted windows look so sleek and stylish, you might assume the best course of action is dark tint all around. Not so fast—California has strict regulations about car window tinting to ensure the safety of everyone on the road.
Law enforcement officers even have specialized equipment to determine the precise amount of shading if they think your tint is too dark. Professional window tint installers are well aware of these regulations and should inform you of them at the time of installation.
SHADING RESTRICTIONS
The amount of light that can pass through your windows is measured by the Visible Light Transmission (VLT) percentage, and VLT restrictions vary based on where the window is located:
- WINDSHIELD: NO TINT OF ANY SHADE IS ALLOWED, EXCEPT ON THE TOP 4 INCHES OF THE WINDSHIELD. HOWEVER, YOU CAN USE A CLEAR (NO TINT) UV-BLOCKING WINDOW FILM.
- FRONT SIDE WINDOWS: MINIMUM 70% VLT.
- BACK SIDE WINDOWS: NO RESTRICTION ON TINT DARKNESS.
- REAR WINDOW: NO RESTRICTION ON TINT DARKNESS.
REFLECTIVE REGULATIONS
Just like sunglass lenses, some window tint film contains metallic elements that help reflect incoming light, reduce glare, and cut down on the heat generated by visible light. However, California law regulates the reflectiveness of car window tint as such:
- WINDSHIELD: REFLECTIVE TINT IS NOT ALLOWED.
- FRONT SIDE WINDOWS: TINT MUST NOT BE MORE REFLECTIVE THAN A STANDARD WINDOW.
- BACK SIDE WINDOWS: TINT MUST NOT BE MORE REFLECTIVE THAN A STANDARD WINDOW.
- REAR WINDOW: NO STATED RESTRICTIONS.
OTHER RESTRICTIONS
Aside from shading and reflectiveness, California has a few other restrictions for car window tint:
- RESTRICTED COLORS: WINDOW TINT IN SHADES OF RED, AMBER, OR BLUE IS NOT ALLOWED.
- SIDE MIRRORS: DUAL SIDE MIRRORS WITH 200 FEET OF VISIBILITY ARE REQUIRED IF THE REAR WINDOW IS TINTED.
- MEDICAL EXEMPTION: STATE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW FOR MEDICAL EXEMPTIONS THAT WOULD ALLOW DRIVERS TO BYPASS WINDOW TINT REGULATIONS.
It’s important to note that the window tint restrictions listed above apply to all vehicle types. Sedans, trucks, SUVs, vans, and even limousines are all required to follow California’s tint regulations.
