Genesis BH window tinting with Glasstint FenderS 12%. Improved heat rejection and clear night vision.
Why Genesis BH Needs New Window Tinting
Window tinting is crucial for a comfortable and safe driving experience. However, over time, the heat rejection capabilities of existing window film can degrade, and issues like glare can impair nighttime visibility, leading many owners to consider re-tinting. The owner of this Hyundai Genesis BH decided to get new window tinting in Mokpo due to diminished performance and visibility problems with their old tint. The previous film showed discoloration around the edges, developed bubbles from internal dust, and obstructed side views. Night driving was particularly concerning due to distracting reflections, raising safety worries.
In such cases, more than just applying new film is needed; a professional removal process and selecting film suited to the vehicle's specific characteristics are essential. Today, we detail the FenderS 12% re-tinting process for the Genesis BH performed at the Today's Car Mokpo branch.
Glasstint FenderS 12% Installation on Genesis BH
The Glasstint FenderS 12% film was chosen for this Genesis BH. This film is known for its excellent heat rejection, low reflectivity, and a sophisticated deep gray tone. It complements the Genesis's expansive glass surfaces and curves, offering clear visibility even at night, significantly boosting driver satisfaction. The FenderS film provides a clear and sharp view from the inside out, going beyond simple heat blocking. Its deep gray color offers a premium look from the exterior while reducing eye strain for the occupants. The owner was so impressed with the sample that they immediately selected this film, finding it satisfactory in both design and performance.
The Importance of Meticulous Re-tinting
Re-tinting begins with the careful removal of the existing film. For vehicles like the Genesis BH with large glass areas and curved rear windows, this requires a highly delicate approach.
- Existing Film Removal: Heat must be applied evenly and carefully. Especially on the rear window, where heating elements are present, a low-temperature steam method was used to safely remove the film, preventing damage to the defroster lines. It's critical to thoroughly clean any remaining adhesive residue from the glass surface.
- Glass Degreasing and Precision Cleaning: Dust control is paramount in re-tinting. After completely removing old adhesive, the glass surface must be thoroughly dried to minimize air bubbles when applying the new film. This meticulous cleaning ensures a pristine glass surface.
- Film Cutting and Heat Molding: The Glasstint FenderS film offers excellent elasticity, allowing it to conform naturally to the thick curves of automotive glass. For the rear window, a process of repeated heating and cooling is necessary to mold the film smoothly without wrinkles. Achieving the optimal result often involves multiple molding stages rather than a single attempt.
Transformed Visibility and Premium Aesthetics Post-Installation
After the tinting was completed, the Genesis BH exhibited a noticeably different appearance. From the outside, the deep gray tint provided a luxurious aesthetic, while from the inside, the driver experienced significantly improved clarity and reduced glare, especially during nighttime driving. The enhanced heat rejection also promised a cooler cabin, reducing the need for excessive air conditioning use. This re-tinting not only addressed the functional issues of the old film but also elevated the overall look and feel of the Genesis BH.

Q. Is ceramic tint worth the extra cost for a Genesis BH?
Ceramic tint is highly recommended for luxury vehicles like the Genesis BH as it offers superior heat rejection without compromising visibility and does not interfere with electronic signals. Its higher upfront cost is justified by its long-term performance benefits and durability.
Q. How is window tint installed on a Genesis BH?
Installation involves meticulously cleaning the glass, precisely cutting the window film to match the window's contours, and carefully applying it using a heat gun for molding and a squeegee to ensure a smooth, bubble-free finish. The old film is first professionally removed, followed by thorough degreasing and cleaning of the glass surface before the new film is applied and cured.
Q. What is the difference between ceramic and dyed window tint for a Genesis BH?
Ceramic tint uses non-conductive ceramic particles for excellent heat rejection and UV protection without signal interference, while dyed tint uses dye to absorb heat and reduce glare but can fade over time. Ceramic tint is generally considered superior for performance and longevity, making it a better investment for a Genesis BH.
