Installer technical FAQ
Will window tint stop my dashboard from becoming hot to the touch?
Installer education covering film construction, solar-performance measures, limitations, care and customer questions.
Although many people assume tinted windows keep interior surfaces cool to the touch, in reality, objects like dashboards and seats absorb heat from the ambient air inside the cabin, not just from direct sunlight. Even if the window film effectively limits solar transmission, a warm cabin environment will eventually heat interior materials through conduction. MOD5 TopShield window tint films are designed to reduce the rapid temperature rise caused by direct sun exposure, which helps protect materials from premature aging, but they cannot prevent surfaces from reaching the same temperature as the surrounding air in a hot vehicle.
