Summer is approaching and you immediately notice how the temperatures in the vehicle rise when the sun shines. This is where tinted windows help, which not only look classy, ​​but also protect against heat and UV rays. However, not every manufacturer still offers tinted windows ex works. When buying a used car, they are often not available or the factory tint is simply not sufficient. However, we have now received a vehicle with factory-tinted windows. This is already very helpful, but the protection can be significantly improved. Normally tinted green glass ensures that around 70 percent of the heat gets inside the vehicle.

The factory tint improves this value considerably, since only 30 to 40 percent of the heat gets into the vehicle. If you want to tint the side windows and the rear window even more and especially reduce the penetration of heat and UV rays to a minimum, the Solarplexius sunscreen exactly the right thing. Since we already have reported about it several timesWe will now show you how easily the sun protection set can be installed on vehicles without factory tinting on a vehicle that already has tinted windows ex works. The test object is a brand new one VW Touran II year 2018.

The photo shows: The interior can be clearly seen when looking through the factory tint. But if you install them Solarplexius slices, you have the certainty that when you look through the side window, neither the contents of the trunk nor the rear seat bench are revealed. No matter how hard you try, you can only guess what's on the back seat. Protection against thieves is therefore required in any case, because only very few will try to open a vehicle if they suspect it.

There is a clear difference between the Solarplexius lenses and the factory tint.

The installation is very simple (short instructions below). The Solarplexius sunshades are made of approx. 2 millimeter thick Macrolon acrylic glass, can be bent as desired and are therefore easy to attach behind the regular vehicle trim. It is important to note that it is not necessary to dismantle parts of the vehicle equipment. The same applies if the panes are to be removed again. By the way, according to the manufacturer, you should first to remove the protective film from the panes before installation. However, we have found that the foil is sometimes more difficult to remove and sometimes gets stuck, especially in the corners. That's why we completely removed both protective films before installation. The installation of this vehicle was again extremely simple, quickly completed and of course free of bubbles, creases or cracks. From now on, our Touran will heat up much more slowly in summer and no one will be able to catch a glimpse of the trunk or the back seat. Furthermore, the occupants are significantly better protected against UV radiation (UVA and UVB).

the installation in detail - installation time approx. 15-20 minutes

As expected, the Solarplexius panes also fit perfectly on our Touran, the installation of the supplied plastic strips would not have been necessary. However, if the panes still have a little clearance, the plastic strips should be attached for better grip. To do this, simply remove the protective film from the adhesive strips on the strips and slide the flat part directly between the pane and the panel so that the thicker part lies against the panel. Done! Now summer can come!
