I was thinking about tinting my windows, but I have taken a pause. I found out about the UVU and UVS windows on the Crown.

I guess Toyota is installing both an inside and outside coating on the windows on the Crown. The inside coating reduces UV/Heat from coming into the car, and the outside coating make water run off.

My understanding is tint can be installed but the trouble is removal if you develop installation problems The tinting adhesives will remove the inside coating in patches and not as a whole piece, requiring a dealer to replace the window.

Has anyone else heard of this?

What's the likelihood that the tint will need to be removed?
As long as you make sure to find a reputable tint shop then you shouldn't have to worry about it needing to be removed

Wifey has it at work but will take some pictures of it tonight. Sure looks 100% better, and much cooler inside now.
I asked about the coating from factory and I am unclear a bit, but if states it has water proof coating on the glass I would assume it's on the outside of the glass where concern is from scratching, why would you need/ want it on the inside is beyond me, as this is where the tinting is applied, but see that it may come off leaving patches of UV material if the tinting needed removal.
I have had this installer put tinting, on various vehicles over 25 years and never needed to remove any of his tint.
After reading the facts about this interior UV coating, I will inquire with him on removal damages to the window- just what a guy would not like is patches that look like bubbles if you had it re-tinted.... But with the looks of the car now, I would do it again.

How long has your tint been installed for?
Curious because I know sometimes it needs time to fully set in after install.

I had my windows tinted on my Crown recently and the guy did a terrible job. It bubbled up really bad. He took the tint off the front two windows and put new on not knowing it had the uv protection on it so when he put the new on it looked like a wild cat was trying to get out of my car. The glass itself was scratched all up and he had to replace my widows. After replacing the windows he still can’t get the tint done properly

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about your terrible tint experience. Any pics of the bad tint job?
