Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Nov 05, 2009 7:35 pm) Well....I had my Honda Accord professionally tinted four years ago and it is indeed a film stuck to the INSIDE of the glass. It still looks great and there are no scratches.   I don't think it makes any sense to put it on the outside. The weather would have too much effect on it.

Replying to: conwelpic (Nov 03, 2009 2:43 pm) Yikes, it sounds like exotic cars sales numbers...   By the way, the 2010 Mazda5 for the US has finally been updated. As mentioned before the noteworthy items are DSC and TCS standard. Hope Canada gets it too... http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/displayPage.action?pageParameter=modelsMain&vehi- - cleCode=MZ5 Replies to this message: conwelpic (Nov 07, 2009 8:51 am) dona83 (Nov 10, 2009 3:17 pm) conwelpic (Nov 10, 2009 8:34 pm)

so you're sayin' that my dealer actually replaced the entire front glass windows to fix defective window tinting on my 2 year old Lancer GTS from Mitsubishi? That is so non-cost effective for them. But now that it's done...oh well. I come out smelling like a rose on this one. I can't believe that tinting goes on the "inside of the glass."   Come on, I'm the boss...need the info.! Someone else supply window tinting information for us, that still maketh no real sense to me.

Replying to: coolmazda5 (Nov 06, 2009 6:55 pm) still no info on Canadian models for the Mazda 5, only '09 info available. It's the only Mazda model that is not providing 2010 info. Replies to this message: dona83 (Nov 10, 2009 3:17 pm)
#797 of 803 All right... by iluvmysephia1 Nov 07, 2009 (10:34 pm)
if no one's going to play with me any more on this window tinting thing I just had a novel thought. I'll call my dealer and try to get a hold of the same Service Advisor who authorized the tinting work on our Lancer GTS.   I'll just ask him how the tinting process works. In explicit detail. And get to the bottom of this menacing mystery once and for all. Replies to this message: conwelpic (Nov 08, 2009 9:46 am)

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Nov 07, 2009 10:34 pm) to my knowledge there is only two ways of tint, if its factory tint its embedded into the glass (the glass is manufactured with tint in it to a set percentage); if its aftermarket and you get the tint applied its usually a film applied on the inside of the glasss (that is what I have had done to my Rondo). I did hear about a spray one time but not sure if that's used anymore, or maybe it wasn't effective. Now if there is another way, its news to me.
#799 of 803 Thanks conwelpic... by iluvmysephia1 Nov 08, 2009 (11:30 am)
seems to me I'm gonna need to call up my Serivce Advisor to find out what they did to fix my driver's side and passenger side window tinting.   I'm guessing that my Lancer's OEM tinting was applied as a film on the inside of the glass, as it showing definite scratching having been done to it. But the re-tint job was film applied I'm thinking, too, because the Service Advisor told me to not roll my windows up or down for several hours after the job was done. It looks great, still, what a nice surprise from them to do this.   I'll try and limit this discussion from now on in here as it is severely off-topic.

Replying to: conwelpic (Nov 07, 2009 8:51 am) Weird since the 2010 Mazda 5 TV commercials are playing in full swing. I noticed the side blinker is gone much like the US model.

Replying to: coolmazda5 (Nov 06, 2009 6:55 pm) finally the 2010 Mazda 5 info has shown up on the Canadian site. DSC and TCS are standard on the GT model, but an option on the base GS model which is part of the Comfort Package at $1,295
#802 of 803 2010 Rondo by conwelpic Nov 12, 2009 (4:13 pm)
I've seen a Canadian EX-V6 Rondo 2010 model for the first time today and the only change I could see over the '09 model was the ECO minder light on the tachometer and different alloy wheels.
