How CiemnaSzyba works
Fitting, visibility and material — everything worth knowing before you order.
Fitting
How it works — three steps, ~30 seconds per window
The panel is not glued to the whole window. You slide it behind the seal and press down thin, clear 3M tape strips. It holds firmly — and comes off in seconds.
BEFORE YOU START
Remove the protective layer from both sides of the panel
Including the side facing the glass. A protective layer left on is the most common cause of a hazy-looking panel.
STEP 1
Slide the panel behind the seal
Lower the window and slide the panel behind the rubber seal. It is cut from your model's pattern, so there is nothing to trim.
STEP 2
Stick on the 3M tape strips
Stick the thin, clear strips along the edge of the panel. They hold firmly; with the window slightly open, you can see them along the top edge.
STEP 3
Press down the top edge
Press the panel against the top edge of the window and raise it. The whole thing takes well under a minute.

Honestly
What is visibility really like?
From the outside the window looks almost black — it reflects light and there is a dark interior behind it. From the inside you look out at a bright scene, so you can see out through the panel — just darker than through bare glass.
In daylight 20% and 30% give comfortable visibility. At night every shade takes away some light — which is why the darkest 5% works above all in the rear of the car. We do not pretend that tinting has no effect on visibility — you pick the level so that visibility stays good and the car looks even better.
Removable panels rest against the glass but are not permanently bonded to it like shop-installed film, so they are slightly less clear than bare glass. In strong sunlight, at certain angles, a faint milky glow may be visible, and with the window slightly open, so may the tape strips along the top edge of the panel. Before fitting, remove the protective layer from both sides of the panel: if left on, it makes the view hazy.
Material
Polycarbonate, not ordinary film
We make our panels from polycarbonate — the same material used for headlight lenses and bulletproof glass. It withstands −40°C to +115°C. Cheaper PET films soften at 70–80°C, the range a hot car interior reaches in summer. That is why our panel does not ripple and does not crack.
