Window Tinting

[AGL80]

Hello!

New A4 Avant owner (2015 TDI Ultra. Real family wagon, but plenty of gadgets and go for me).

First Audi and first German car since a 320 Efficient Dynamics. I’m very pleased with it but could do with the rear windows tinting - the kids are struggling a bit in the back.

I’d be grateful for any recommendations. Got one price back online at £198 for rear only. Seems a bit steep. I don’t want it blacked out, but enough for the kids to not have to squint everywhere we go!

@AGL80 , welcome to the forum; hope you like it here.

If you're looking for recommendations on which firm to use for window tinting, knowing where you live would help.

 

[AGL80]

Fair point. Just outside of Peterborough, though most firms seem to be mobile.

Welcome... Although I haven't had mine done yet (I got a quote for £135) for the Rear 5x windows...Suppose it depends on location as to what people charge. Unless you have a big enough garage to get the work done by a mobile company, I would always get done at their premises, to prevent contamination etc. Would you stick some before and after pics on if/when you get sorted?

Mine was 240 i think at Monster Wraps near Southampton.

IIRC that was 70% tint on all rears and 30% on fronts.

Seems about the average.

Mine (saloon) was £120 for the rears. Used a local firm that I'd used before.

I had the same issue with our kid. I went with “carshades” in the end so I can take them out in winter when there’s no sun!

I just got the rear windows but you can get the full rear car blackout. Cheaper than what you’re quoting there.

Thanks for that.

How child proof are they? Our youngest just rips the current stick on ones off.

You can’t rip them off. To fit & remove them you’ve got to put the window down and fit them from the outside.
