2022 Yukon Window Tint

Unless you drive in Arizona and Frank sees you, then windshield tint is a good thing. If you don’t know who Frank is, then you have research to do.

Thanks for the help everyone - I was able to get it done!

Thanks for the replies!

@Vinnoto1 did you have the entire windshield done in the xpel? How has it been as far as heat reduction?

Thanks!

Yes, it makes a huge difference. Initially I skipped the windshield, however once I experienced a hot day with that being the only window to not having it I knew it was needed.

I am trying to schedule an appointment to get me front windshield covered with a clear heat film.

The local shops around me (New Orleans Area) are telling me there are sensors around the windshield that will short out due to applying the film with whatever liquid/soap they use so they are declining the job.

This is on a 2022 Yukon Denali.

Does anyone have any experience or have any issues with this in the past?

I have window film on my windshield and all other windows. Zero problems.
I have actually tested a variety of window tinting. My goal was to block UV-A, this is believed to be a cause of skin cancer. After testing about six different types. I found that “XPEL” did the best job. You cannot find this product at “tint shops”. Some car dealerships install it. I ended up going to their Dallas facility, “XPEL Dallas”. I ended up liking this product so much that I had my other tinting removed from a different vehicle. I have NO financial relationship with this company other than being a customer.

I went with Ceramic 70 on the entire windshield, definitely helps with heat reduction especially with black interior. When I had this done on the 2022 Yukon a few years back coincidentally I had issues with the daytime running lights not coming on. So I had the tint removed and went to 80. Still had DTRL issue, a dealer said it was because the tint was a little too dark, I didn't buy that excuse. So it ended being that dash sensor was faulty, so for $12-$15 bucks I ordered and replaced that within 10 min. Then had the Window re-tinted with ceramic 70, and have had no issues with lighting and have the heat reduction/privacy factor intact. ** I also heard that some of the software/firmware updates around that time fixed that known issue, but for me replacing that sensor is what fixed DTRL.
