What kind of double tinted glass will it be?

At the same time, the trend is quite clearly visible - the punishment is becoming more severe from year to year. Drivers go to various lengths to get the much-desired blackout, but at the same time remain in good standing with the law.

Double glazing with tinting, double windows

Recently, you can find different opinions about whether double glazing is necessary in cars. The stumbling block was the tinting of car windows and the constantly changing amounts of fines for such an offense.
At the same time, the trend is quite clearly visible - the punishment is becoming more severe from year to year. Drivers go to various lengths to get the much-desired blackout, but at the same time remain in good standing with the law.

Double tinted glass

There are examples of using removable screen tints, but today we will talk about what double glazing with tint is. A similar technology is used when installing a second glass in a standard car door.

The factory glass remains in place, but a control mechanism for the second glass, tinted, is mounted behind it. But it’s not so easy to install additional devices. To do this, you will have to do a lot of additional work so that the glass rises and falls at the same level as the standard glass. » alt=»»>

All work is compensated by the fact that the car has tinting, which, at the request of traffic police officers, can be eliminated at any time by simply pressing the power window motor control button.

Features of installing double glass tinting

In order for double glazing to work properly, you need to place a second window regulator and a second guide frame in the door cavity, along which the tinted glass will slide.

Naturally, you will need to add an additional button to the control. In a high-quality design, the two glasses do not come into contact with each other, do not rub against each other and do not interfere with the operation of each mechanism.

Both foreign cars and almost all VAZ models have the ability to install additional double-glazed windows. All work can be carried out at specialized car service centers.

For those who want to carry out modernization with the help of specialists, there are some tips:

The car service center must have a certificate to carry out this type of work. Double glazing is performed using a special patented procedure and the contractor must have a patent in hand. In the absence of these documents, there is reason to doubt the qualifications of the contractor and to think about the advisability of spending your money. Well, in this case you should completely forget about the guarantee;
The work is considered to be of high quality if the second glazing is not made of plastic;
Double glazing work includes the application of a special coating. The inner surface of both glasses is treated with a “madeline” composition, which is designed to prevent scratches;
tinting covers the outer surface of only the inner glass;
you will have to come to terms with the fact that you will need to remove the door amplifier and redo the window regulators.

Lada Priora Hatchback › Logbook › Two glasses (double glass) START =)

To make it interesting, let's start with a VIDEO =) The work done today (the glass is attached to the second joint (which is attached to the stiffener), the glass is fastened at the factory, they will need to be redone, on the first joint I checked it works with a bang =)
There will be a lot of photos and there will be no recording Briefly speaking.

1) buy window lifters (SP) “Forward”

2) bend one of the joints in the opposite direction (it must be completely disassembled in order to prevent breakage of the plastic)

3) pull out the limiter from the joint venture (so that the windows are completely lowered)

Next we move on to the door:

1) Bend the door as in the photo (just pull it towards you, everything bends perfectly like a tin can =))

2) Using this cunning device, we bend the upper factory hole on which the joint venture is attached (insert a bolt into the hole with a washer inside the door and outside and simply tighten the bolt, the washer must be large because a small one bluntly cuts off the hole)

3) The lower hole needs to be moved 2-4 cm towards the awnings and also bent towards itself (I bent it there with two hammers, stuck one inside and hit with the second)

For those who are planning to install double windows with tinting on foreign cars, it is worth learning about the pitfalls of this idea.

Minuses

double tinting on foreign cars is, in principle, not a cheap pleasure;
you will have to come to terms with the lack of a door reinforcement;
double glass has a mirror surface effect;
over time, the installed structure exhibits increased noise from rattling, which is produced by double power windows;
The outer glass will open, but not all the way. The space for full opening is occupied by structural elements for double glazing with tinting;
Double tinted windows make the car doors noticeably heavier. Door hinges will have to be adjusted more often, which in turn leads to the risk of cracks in the metal of the doorway. This is especially true for three-door cars that have converted power windows;
lack of technological ability to open both glasses at once, but only in a certain sequence. Double tinting is controlled by its own button.

pros

double glazing reduces street noise;
the ability to independently control the transparency of glass in any weather conditions, as well as at the request of traffic police officers;
hides the identity of car passengers.

Cost of tinting car windows

Since it appeared on our market relatively recently, its cost is very high. For all car services that offer the installation of additional glass, plus upgraded window regulators, the minimum price starts from 5,000 rubles. for domestic cars.

The general price range for such a service ranges from 5 to 22 thousand rubles. Garage “masters” can carry out this work for 12–16 thousand rubles. Double glazing for imported cars is offered starting from 20 thousand rubles.

Domestic, specially trained craftsmen in the city of Togliatti will do this work with all VAZ models for 18, with foreign cars this procedure costs 32 thousand. » alt=»»>

Drivers have found a way to drive with tint. The traffic police shrug their shoulders

In 2022, the rules for tinting car windows were adjusted and brought into line with modern GOST - the light transmittance of the windshield and front side windows must be at least 70%. The traffic police closely monitors this and regularly conducts raids: fans of tinting are given a fine of 500 rubles for the first time, and the second time for an uncorrected violation, the amount of the fine doubles or the driver is arrested for up to 15 days for disobeying the demands of a police officer.

However, companies have appeared on the market that offer to bypass all GOST standards - install removable tinting or frame curtains. Drivers have the opportunity to drive with tinted windows, and if police officers are involved, they can eliminate the violation on the spot and not have to pay anything. Autonews.ru tells how drivers circumvent the law and why it is unsafe.

Two ways of such tinting

As mentioned above, the installation process involves two methods. The first of them, called electortonation, implies the following:

two polymer layers of transparent film are taken, and inside them there are liquid crystals that have a certain polarity;
when voltage is applied, the crystals are polarized and the glass becomes transparent;
when there is no voltage, the glass becomes tinted.

As for the color of the tint, it can be different: gray, white, with a blue tint, dark gray, etc.

Double glazing

Double glazing (automatic tinting) is a progressive technology that allows you to have standard non-tinted windows on your car, and, if necessary, provide automatic tinting of the car windows at the touch of a button, in just a few seconds. Tinting car windows is not only a tribute to fashion and the desire to give solidity to the appearance of your car. Tinted windows protect the upholstery from direct sunlight and the interior contents from prying eyes.

Current legislation prohibits tinting the front doors of a car; the most practical way out of the situation is double glazing of the car.

General installation principle

If you are interested in do-it-yourself double glass for a VAZ 2114, then you should understand the principle of operation of double glass. It lies in the fact that the window lift cable is installed longer than in the usual case. To attach such a lift, you must use a 10 mm hexagon.

At the same time, it must be equipped with an internal thread for wiring. The edge of the wiring is attached to a bolt; it is intended to hold the door handle. A special T-shaped fastener is fixed in the lower part, this allows you to extend the glass unit using a plate.

By the way, the plate is bolted directly to the door frame. This can be done in the places where the drain holes are located.

Installing such glass is considered a simple task, but in order to cope with it, you need to be patient.

Automatic tinting (double glazing)

Automatic tinting (double glazing) is a progressive technology that allows you to have standard non-tinted windows on your car, and, if necessary, provide automatic tinting of the car windows at the touch of a button, in just a few seconds.

The price of automatic window tinting depends both on the class of the car and on the complexity of the installation work. Automatic tinting is now installed without the use of velvet. Automatic tinting uses 2 glasses, one glass is not tinted, the second is with any degree of tinting chosen by the client.

Additional tinted windows and additional power windows are installed in the front doors of the car. The window regulators operate independently, the entire system operates from standard buttons via a toggle switch (modes can be changed at the touch of a button).

Advantages of double glazing in cars:

solid appearance of a tinted car;
additional effective sound insulation of the car;
protection of a stationary car from heating by the sun's rays;
protecting items inside a parked car from the eyes of potential thieves;
reducing the load on the air conditioner - double glazing;
psychological security inside the car.

What is this

The term "automatic tinting" or Douglass tinting (2 glass) refers to double glazing of the side windows of a car. As mentioned earlier, the technology was invented and developed in a garage, where it is currently being implemented.

Even the fact that many companies provide this type of service does not allow us to talk about its official recognition. To date, no car manufacturer has yet used this tinting method on their designs. Mostly, car owners install such kits on domestic cars.

It should be noted that there is another method of electronic tinting using liquid crystals:

The point is to apply several layers of coating on their basis.
In this case, liquid crystalline substances tend to change the throughput characteristics depending on the applied voltage.

The technology exists, but it is not used in Russia, because after learning how much the whole process costs, many car owners answer that their car is cheaper than hers.

It is also unrealistic to perform the procedure on your own; this requires specialized equipment and certain knowledge of physics.

We make a solution for the surface from shampoo and warm water.
It is poured into a spray bottle, after which you can wash the glass well on both sides.
All seals must be removed.
Cut out the required piece of film for gluing.

We spray the glass from the outside and apply the film to the glass. It should stick due to the use of shampoo.
Using a special knife, remove the excess.

Peel off the film from the tint.
The film is sprayed with a solution; it can be corrected until the glue has completely dried.
Using a rubber spatula, the adhesive solution is removed from under the film. Excess glue can be removed with a napkin.

In this video I will tell you about another way to drive with dark windows in a car without fear of being fined to death by evil traffic cops. And this method is double windows in cars. This method is not the simplest, but it is cheaper than electrical tinting, but also more complicated than removable tinting. Although there is a big plus, I did it and don’t worry, the main thing is not to forget to switch the windows in front of the traffic police officers (by the way, you can watch the video about electrical tinting in the previous video on my channel). Of course, double glazing has many advantages. In addition to price, convenience and beauty, this is protection from sunlight that burns plastic panels and seat upholstery, as well as protection from noise. And partly robbers.

Double tinting

Double tinting is not two layers of film or film on both sides of the car glass. Double tinting is the use of two sets of glass on the front doors of a car. Double tinting is also known as automatic window tinting due to the fact that all glass changing operations are automated, unlike removable tinting, which you have to tinker with manually if something happens. 2 glasses provide 2 things - absolutely transparent glass of the front door when checked by traffic police officers and glass tinted to any degree to ensure comfort in the cabin the rest of the time. When using double tinting, the main thing is not to overdo the film density, otherwise problems with the visibility of the roadway may arise. On the other hand, in the evening and at night you can use transparent glass and ensure excellent visibility.

Which film to choose?

Since automatic tinting can be turned off at any time, no one will cover additional glass with an approved film. In fact, that’s what the retractable glass is designed for, to hide from prying eyes if necessary. For example, if you leave the car, you roll up the dark windows and you can no longer look into the interior.

Car enthusiasts who have already had experience in using double tinting recommend using dark films, even the most opaque ones. At night, the tinting is lowered, so there will be no problems with visibility. But in the bright sun the interior will not fade, and the dark films will partially compensate for the lack of rear window tinting.
