Well, I wanted to do a test and see if I could come up with a visor decal or visor window tint that I like.
This is what I came up with.
I like the dimentions, so I'll try it again with some window tint next time.
This vinyl sticker came from Pep Boys, and has some kind of adhesive backing that sticks to the windshield. No matter how much pressure I applied, the adhesive still looks terrible, and there are about a billion air bubbles.
If anyone can recommend a good product for this application, please post it!
No kidding...I have to scrunch down to see a lot of lights when I'm the first in line. And I'm 5'7"!
For the airbubbles, good luck Expect to spend a lot of time and elbow grease, but it's possible. You'll need to strip it back to the halfway mark, then use a hard squeegie (like a credit card) to smooth out the bubbles, all the while slowly pushing the piece down towards the edge of the car. Repeat with the other half.
Originally posted by UFeniZe i agree, when i come up to a light, i can't even see the light.
I just went out for a test drive.
I don't notice the visor sticker unless I need to see the overhead signal light.
If I am the first car at the light, the signal is blocked from my view by the overhead visor trim at the top of the windshield. To see it without the visor sticker, I need to crane my head down and to the right. With the visor sticker, I have to crane my head a lot farther down and to the right.
The thing is, where I live, all of the signal lights have another, lower signal light positioned on the corner of each block, so I never have to look up at the overhead signal.
1) Before you apply the tint, run a razor blade over the area you plan on tinting.
2) Get a spray bottle, some demin water, liquid detergent, and a stiff squeegee.
3) Mix about 5 drop of the LD with the demin water in the bottle.
4) Spray the window. Keep it wet.
5) Pull the backing off the tint spraying the sticky side well.
6) Put the sticky side on.
7) Adjust tint to right position.
8) Keep the tint and squeegee wet, preventing scratches, squeegee the water/bubbles away.
9) Let dry.
Hehehe you said monobrow. Maybe you could use a black piece of vinyl and put that on the outside of the windshield. I think CA law says it cannot extend down more than 6" though.
