Tinted Windshield 16 Yukon XL

[MichaelSE]

These tinted windshield pics are really making me want to do mine. My windshield does have one rock chip, about .5cm across. Will this prevent them from tinting it?

I don't see a problem but why spend the money on tint if that chip one day cracks...
No glass on the insurance?

Have you tried to repair it? The tint shop in my area can repair smaller size cracks/chips. I'd definitely look into repairing or replacing before spending money on getting it tinted.

Good points. The chip was there when I bought it; 15k miles later and it hasn't spread at all. How much does repair usually run?

Any of you guys have the Head Up display with windshield tint? I went to get 90 on my full windshield today and installer was hesitant and said it might affect the Head Up display.

I don't have HUD but he can test it by just putting small piece for a couple of days. 90% is nothing... should be ok.

No HUD here, sorry I can't be of more help.

My tint installer didn't even ask, and they are a very reputable shop, which leaves me to believe it wouldn't have messed with it.

I'd mage anywhere from $50-100

I've got a '16 Tahoe LTZ with the HUD option. I had 45% tint on my front windshield (got it done the day after I purchased the truck in June) and the tint had absolutely no effect whatsoever on the HUD. I also had limo tint all the way around so it was DARK. The local county police here in Maryland stopped me and issued a repair order to get it peeled. I ended up peeling the windshield and the front two doors and I had the doors redone in 30% and left the windshield untinted.

FWIW the tinted windshield was visually appealing when looking at my truck from the outside but I always felt like the view through the glass from the inside was distorted. I'll probably get a 5% strip across the top of the front windshield and call it good...

Do they give you an option to just pay the fine? We can peeled or pay.
I got pull over before... i just tell them rear is very dark because of tools or my DJ gear. Plus a PBA helps...
