Toyota RAV4 Window Tint
Improve the driving experience of your Toyota RAV4 AWD by filtering heat and the sunlight that reaches your eyes. Window film can reduce strain on your eyes and increase the privacy that you have in your hybrid or standard SUV. If you didnt have this product installed by your dealer before purchase, an aftermarket add-on can give you the darkened look that you desire.
What advantages does window tint offer?Tinting the windows of a RAV4 can improve both the SUV and the driving experience.
- Better driving vision - When full natural sunlight comes into your Toyota, it can cause a lot of glare and squinting as you drive. Reducing even a portion of this light can reduce the strain on your eyes and improve your ability to see the road clearly.
- Less UV exposure - UV rays are not good for your skin. These products help shield you from the suns rays.
- Lower in-car temperature - Riding in a hot vehicle can be uncomfortable. When less bright sunlight gets into your Toyota RAV4, youll stay cooler.
- More privacy - Outsiders cannot see your Toyota as easily if the vehicle has been tinted. This can give you a sense of privacy as you drive.
- Safety in an accident - If your Toyota RAV4 is ever in a serious accident, untinted windows could scatter broken glass throughout the vehicle. A window film can hold shards in place so everyone is protected.
Darkening film is rated based on how much natural light it allows into the vehicle. If 90 percent of available light passes into your Toyota RAV4, the product is rated at 90 percent. Therefore, 90 percent is quite light, and 10 percent is quite dark. This measurement is called VLT, which stands for visible light transmission.
Some tinting levels for RAV4 windows have special names. A 20 percent product is also known as "factory tint." A five percent product is better known as "limo tint."
Many states have regulations about how dark a cars glass can be. Before purchasing or installing a darkening product for your RAV4, it is a good idea to consult your state laws about what you can legally put on your car.
How do you decide between pre-cut and uncut window film?Some manufacturers produce window tinting products that are specifically designed to be used on a particular make and model of vehicle. They are cut to the standard dimensions of a RAV4. If you are not an expert installer, this may be the optimal choice for you.
Other manufacturers produce full sheets of window tinting that you can cut to the exact dimensions of your Toyota. This allows you to accommodate slight variations between your vehicle and other RAV4s of the same model. If you are an experienced installer or will have your product professionally installed, these uncut sheets can be used to provide a customized fit for your Toyota.
