Hi,

Has anybody had their windows done with the Pentagon Supaglass security covering (not the pimp-tint ) and what do you think of it / ever had to rely on it to stop somebody getting in ? I spoke to the Rochdale office and they said they'd just done an STi7 with the light smoke version - if you're reading this, what do you think of it and how much is it actually tinted?

Secondly, if you have it fitted, does it "interfere" with the operation of the Clifford glass smashing detector thingy (alters noise signature as it's laminated)?

Soz for all the q's but wondering whether it's worth it (aside from the paranoia justification )

TIA

AFAIK the glass-break sensor is adjustable. Check if there's a small dial on the unit. If so, you might be able to adjust it so that even a sharp tap on the glass with a metal object will register. If that's the case, you're sorted.

u can adjust the glass breaker as Apple suggested. Carefull not to make it too sensitive.

I set it too high and it kept on picking up the proximty sensor noise. Trial and error really.

And u got to find the sensor. Ussually located near the passenger side footwell.

Watch out if its adjusted too high, the perimeter squawk sets off the glass break.

thats what I said.

lol, I'm blind

I'm at Leicester football club 2morrow night Vin, look out for a brand spanker STi7 in black.

Any thieves reading this... dont even think about it, its owned by a 6ft 7" 24stone Goon

Thanks for the replies on the glass sensor

Does anybody have the Pentagon film stuff fitted and what do you think of it?

My wife has a friend who has 7 cars (£££££££'S) all go straightr to them for a mildtint/security film. They have had 2 attempts on the cars .one at a traffic light. They talk about the Thieves faces as they drove off... they laugh about it!!! Pentagon are very proffesional and the finish is excellent.

Apple

Thanks Luke

Looks like it's pennies saving time again

Any idea how deep the tint is? One evening, I went out for a walk with a group of mates where I wouldn't dare leave the scoob and there were a few cars with the rear windscreen put through . Talking to Pentagon, it's obviously more expensive having rear window done as well but they'd have to do it anyway if you want others tinted so it matches the rest - they say it's a granite grey tint rather than brown / green - any idea how dark as I don't want it to look like a pimpmobile

Apple

PS it might just come down to going to nearest office and having a butchers if there's one being done.

Apple

just found there's a minute link to a page on their website showing the tints but it's not very helpful and they all look a similar shade...

seems like a trip to deepest / darkest Lancashire in order

what colours does the tint come in does anyone have any links to any shops selling it

Apple

try Pentagon Supaglass and search through the various pages The tints page takes a bit of finding and doesn't seem too helpful piccy-wise - difficult to tell the difference between the various shades

it's not something you can buy in a shop and fit yourself - it has to be bonded to the glass and AFAIK they take out the windows to do it so you've to leave the car with them overnight

Apple

forgot to add - colours = clear or granite grey (I think they mean neutral grey shade rather than warm / cold tone of blue / brouwn / green tints

also they do none security tints which might be in other shades ??

no connections etc, just trying to find out for myself before splashing out

Thanks for your help

What sort of price have people paid for this ?

Smoked version

how expensive is it ?

Apple

I was quoted something like 300 quid for clear security film and 375 ish for tinted as they have to do rear windscreen to make it match (they don't bother doing it for clear films).

Can't remember whether these include VAT or not and was told it was an "intoductory offer" as the Rochdale branch had just opened - might be same price or higher?

Oh ok cheers

Will ring a few branchs and see what the cost is
