Automotive tinting specifics

Sliding Side Window

Sliding side windows appear on MPVs, vans and certain Singapore commercial vehicles, requiring special install attention to film edges where the panes move past each other.

Sliding side windows on vehicles like the Toyota HiAce, Maxus MIFA or Mercedes V-Class have two panes that slide horizontally. Film installed on each pane must allow smooth movement without catching at the seam.

Edge cutting requires extra clearance at the seam side — typically 2–3 mm — to prevent the sliding pane from catching on the film edge. The trade-off is a slightly visible edge gap, which we minimise with precise alignment.

For Singapore MPV owners, sliding side windows are a common feature on family vehicles and benefit significantly from quality tint.
