Road Noise Louder After Getting Windows Tinted
Has anyone else experienced this problem.
I just had my 2 front windows tinted and now it seems that I hear more road noise than before when I travel about 65 mph?

there was no difference in road noise for me either. hey sean does the 20% match the back exactly? i had 30% put on knowing it was going to be lighter than the back, and texas legal limit is 35%. but i think with the large windshield, pretty large driver and pass. windows, and pano roof(shades closed), it looks to light. i am considering going to have 20% put on. do you have a daylight pic of the tint from different angles? since you have arctic white also.

I have found no difference after my tint. Is it possible that they cut some of the weather stripping/seal when they trimmed the sheet of tint?
BTW, 20% matches perfectly with the factory tint.

When they tint do they have to remove the glass? Maybe they didn't do good job putting glass back and forgot or didn't properly install insulation?

I watched them do it on my car and it turned out great. The best $75.00 I've spent!

Thanks everyone for your input
I will bring it back to the shop just to see if they installed the window trim properly

Did a good job matching the car's original tint though. From a distance it looks the same. Sharp looking car.
