Genesis G70 Window Tinting: Why a Refresh Was Needed
Over time, car window tint can degrade, especially when exposed to prolonged sunlight or if lower-quality films were initially used.

These performance issues can lead to a hotter cabin, increased driver fatigue, and potential damage to interior materials. For this G70 owner, these drawbacks made a tinting refresh a necessity.
