The darkening of the windows in the car is achieved with the help ofgluing a special polyester transparent film to the glass machine. It is attached to the inside of the glass, which allows you to keep it from various external damages and the effects of rain and snow.
2
Before buying a film, first determine thecolor and degree of shading. Please note that there are special standards, and heavily shaded glasses may need to be released from the film, as this is a violation. Remember that the light transmittance of the front glass should be at least 75%. The most common colors for toning are black and brown, but it is possible to use other shades, then match the color of the film to the color of the machine.

First, wash the machine well, especially the glass. On them there should not be any greasy and dirty stains, traces from water flows. Wipe it dry thoroughly.

It is easier not to pull the windows out of the car door, but just to remove the seals for the duration of the operation.

Then attach the tissue paper to the glass and gently circle its contours with a pencil. Make a small reserve down. Cut it neatly with scissors.
6
Attach the template to the unfolded film roll, mark it and carefully place it on the film. Then slowly cut the workpieces. One roll of film is enough for the car's glasses.

Accurately glue the film to the glass with a dark layerinside. Carefully level to avoid the slightest wrinkles. Work very carefully and with clean hands. After leveling, moisten the glued film from the outside, once again, adjust everything. Using a spatula, squeeze out the bubbles from the film. Wipe it dry with a rag.

After drying, carefully replace the seals.
Tip 2: How to check the polarization on the glasses
In sunny weather, glasses with polarizationfilters become irreplaceable thanks to the ability to extinguish bright glare. With a rich choice in stores, it's not easy to find a really high-quality accessory, because even on inexpensive simple models of darkened glass, there is a label "polarization". There are several ways to check the actual presence of a polarization filter on the glasses.
Instructions
1
Try to check the model in the store. Take two pairs of identical glasses and attach one glass to the other so that their center coincides. Then rotate one pair 90 degrees until you move the center of the lens. Look at the glasses of some glasses through the others - it should darken.
2
For testing is also suitable liquid crystalscreen mobile phone, computer monitor, TV. Look at it through the lenses of the glasses, then rotate them 90 degrees so that the pivot axis coincides with the center of the screen and the lens. As a result, the image becomes dark. If, at any angle, the screen visible through the glasses remains light-you have in your hands a usual accessory with darkened glasses, without a polarizing filter.
3
Depending on the quality of the filter,The proposed method of testing the lens is obscured by 50-100%. For ordinary leisure, inexpensive models with partial coverage will do, it will be enough to reduce the blinding effect, reduce stress and irritate the eyes. Points with 100% coverage are necessary for professional sportsmen and drivers, keen on anglers and hunters.
4
When choosing the points, pay attention to theirdestination. Polarization filters can differ in different series, since they are tuned to a certain spectrum of light waves. Points for fishermen reduce the brightness of sun glare from water by 95%, rifles increase the contrast and sharpness of the image, the drivers cut off part of the spectrum of headlamps and reduce the effect of blinding when driving.
5
Try to choose glasses of known provenmarks. Models from little-known firms or fakes may not be of sufficient quality, with ineffective coating, with optical axes displaced from an optimal position. As a result, they will pass a test check with a liquid crystal display in the store, but will not be very useful in operation.
