no its not normal .... supposed to be one piece ...... some cars' curvature is very pro-nounced & difficult to paste ...... watever, they shld have informed you first !!!

Definately not normal. When I installed mine the guy had to decide whether he wants to take my back seat out or cut the solar film. Stare at him long enuf and he will do the rest. Of course cut and joint faster for the installer, don't have to take out then put back the back seat, but joint lines are fugly and you pay good $$ for it.

Do you mean the rear windscreen? If it is then its perfectly normal. The solar film for the rear windscreen is made up of 3-4 pieces. Only the front windscreen and the side windows are all one piece.

[Othello]

not true leh ...... my experiences @ v-kool & perfect windows are one pieced ......

[Discoburg]

Sure bo? I spoke to the V-kool salesman the last time round and he told me cannot do 1 piece.

[Othello]

maybe mine easier ?? my car is HB unless their film is so much diff from others that they have to do it in 2 piece. cos, from what I saw at perfect windows & other shops, its all one piece one ( including on a CLK - huge and long rear windscreen)

 

I'm sure lots of bros here have did their window films ..... care to comment ??

[Discoburg]

Hmmm mine also HB and Nanolux also have to use 2-3 strips for my rear windscreen.

Well, it's only 1 piece for mine. What is your ride?

What film u use And what's your ride

 

I had mine VKOOL and according to the installer some car extremely hard to do eg. Beetle (The curve of the windscreen)

 

But as long as your installer is good and experience, they should know what to do instead of cutting the film

 

Juz my $0.02

trying to get a photo of the join line .....

 

my ride's a FL N16.

 

Perhaps certain cars need to have multiple pieces and some just 1 piece ok ?

 

shall we start a poll ?

[Osiris]

mine's a FL N16 too if u haven't notice my signature...

anyhow, mine was installed twice. Both times no lines.

If you get photo, let me know cos I don't remember seeing joint lines. Only the front is 2 piece. One at the top (silvery in color) and the normal tinting below.

[Discoburg]

That is great

ES5, I think it's inffratech with 2 F. Installed it in malaysia. The installer will use a heat blow device to soften up the heat film abit so that it will mold to the shape of your glass. Very professional installation. I see zero bubbles, compare to Vcool on my old car.
