About Today's Car Gumi Branch
Today's Car Gumi Branch has specialized in tinting services for over 20 years, operating from the same location. They have extensive experience with partial tinting (even single small windows) and re-application jobs, making them a popular choice for used car owners. They provide thorough consultations, from removing old films to applying new ones.
Why Does Hyundai Aslan's Windshield Tint Discolor?
Exposure to sunlight for over a year can cause the original tint film to turn purple. This discoloration is a clear sign that the UV protection function has degraded, significantly reducing visibility. Leaving discolored tint untreated means heat and UV rejection capabilities are almost non-existent. Over time, the adhesive can break down, leading to bubbling or a wavy appearance. Given the critical role of the front windshield in ensuring a clear driving view, re-application is recommended for safety reasons.
The Efficiency of Partial Re-tinting
Partial re-tinting is the ideal option when a car owner plans to upgrade their vehicle soon. It addresses immediate driving discomforts without the cost and time commitment of a full re-application (which includes all windows plus front and rear windshields). Today's Car Gumi Branch, with its high volume of used car re-tinting, can perform tinting on just one window. For instance, re-tinting only the front windshield, as in this case, while keeping the side window films, can reduce costs by approximately 50-60% compared to a full replacement.
Hyundai Aslan Front Windshield Re-application Process
The process begins with the removal of the existing film. A steamer is used to carefully lift the old tint, minimizing residual adhesive. This step is crucial for the quality of the new film application, as it ensures a clean glass surface. After removing the old film, the difference in color compared to the side windows becomes starkly apparent, visually confirming the need for re-application.
New Film Application and Tint Level Selection
The owner opted for a 30% tint level, a popular choice that balances privacy with visibility. This level is particularly recommended for front windshields. Applying the new film restores the windshield's appearance and enhances privacy. From inside the car, the distinct color difference between the new front windshield tint and the old side window tint clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of the re-application.
Hyundai Aslan Front Windshield Tinting: Time and Cost
Installation Time: Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. As this was a partial re-tint, the process was significantly faster than a full job. Many car owners find they can wait at the shop or complete other errands during this time.

Q. Is ceramic tint worth the extra cost for a Hyundai Aslan?
Ceramic tint is worth the extra cost if maximum heat rejection and UV protection without compromising visibility are priorities. It offers superior performance over dyed or metallic films, justifying its higher price point for enhanced comfort and protection.
Q. How is window tint installed on a Hyundai Aslan?
1. The old tint is carefully removed using a steamer to soften the adhesive and minimize residue. 2. The glass surface is meticulously cleaned and prepared. 3. The new window film is cut to shape, applied to the glass with a solution, and squeegeed to remove air bubbles and excess moisture. 4. The edges are trimmed, and the film is allowed to cure.
Q. What is the difference between ceramic and dyed window tint for a Hyundai Aslan?
Ceramic tint uses non-metallic ceramic particles to block heat and UV rays, offering excellent performance without interfering with electronics, while dyed tint uses dye to darken the windows and absorb some heat but offers less protection and can fade over time. Ceramic tint is generally more expensive but provides superior heat rejection and longevity.
