VELIMAX Static Cling Total Blackout Window Film Privacy Room Darkening Window Tint Black Window Cover 100% Light Blocking No Glue (17.7 x 78.7 inches)

I bought this to to black out the windows on my 4Runner camping conversion. I wanted to have total sun blocking capability. I was going to have a professional install complete blackout color tint. However, the price they quoted me was out of this world, so I thought I would give it a try. I only had a chance to get one window done. But, it turned out great. I just read the included instructions and watched a few Youtube videos and it was no problem to install. Now I get complete privacy and sun protection, keeping my 4Runner much cooler. From the outside, the color is just a solid black. It is very nice looking but not distracting. Once I get all the back windows done, I will update my review with more photos.

I used this to black out the sides and back of my son’s snake enclosure and the rolls made for that were not the right size, so I knew that I would have to cut any of them to size. I love that there are grid lines on the side you peel off, so that makes measuring and cutting to size so much easier. Installation was also a lot easier than expected. After reading the reviews of so many black cling films, I was nervous about that and I admit I put off doing it. It was so easy though. The directions say to spray it and the surface with soapy water—I just used distilled water and it worked fine. I didn’t have a squeegee, so I used a deck of cards (it was lying within reach!) to smooth out the bubbles. It was so simple and I had no problems with any of it. I highly recommend this product!

UPDATE :So static clang is never going to be good enough for these applications but it helps. It certainly helps to align. It certainly helps to install. It's just that they won't stay in place! So there's a very very simple solution and I mean that literally! Just take a little sugar water honey diluted in water or molasses of any kind. Also diluted in water by about half or more and you can either spray the window using a sprayer or you can apply it with a brush just in areas where it's actually peeling! This works because it's naturally super sticky as you know from handling these jars for years- and it's also easy to remove with just plain water or a wet towel when the time comes. So if you've got a peeling corner just dab it on. You can use a paper towel, dab it on it or dab it on the back of the shade. So other than being a little too narrow and a little too overpriced for The wider roll, this is actually pretty good stuff for direct application to the inside of Windows in cars, Vans, and any other kind of camper! About. The only other thing I can say is that it needs to be longer and I think I did get shorted four feet by the time I got to the end of the roll. You may want to start by The roll before you start cutting !I may have to return this even though it's cut into little pieces. It was I believe 4 ft short and I don't think it's going to last the month. As far as reusability goes for the purpose indicated. I'm going to give it another shot here. I'll try spraying the inside of the Windows in question with some soapy water to add some stick and if that does the trick then I'll be happy.

This is completely room darkening, blackout. The backing is a little difficult to get off, but I found if you use an exacto knife and hold it almost parallel with the back side of the static cling and just poke it through the backing and make a little slit towards the outside of the corner you can easily get ahold of the backing to peel it away. I used scissors to cut the static cling just about 1/2 inch more than I needed on both top and side. Then use a spray bottle with water and a few drops of liquid soap (mixed up well) to really wet the window surface and the back of the static cling. Put it in place and you can slide it around a little bit to get it in the exact position you need then use a squeegee (or credit card) to squeeze out the extra water and get a good seal to the window. Lastly I used an exacto knife and a ruler to trim the edges and get a perfect with a nice straight line. Easy to install, works perfect and looks beautiful! The outside (or side you would be seeing on the inside of your house) is a matte finish black with almost a slight sand paper type feel to it. The side you would be seeing from outside your house is a shiny black appearance and if you don't spend enough time with the squeegee to get all the water and air pushed out then you would see water/air bubbles from this side as well.

I’m honestly super impressed. It was really easy to apply—just a bit of measuring, cutting, and smoothing it on. No fancy tools needed, and it stuck perfectly without any bubbles once I got the hang of it.The difference it makes is amazing. It blocks out all the light, which has been a game-changer for sleeping in, especially on bright mornings. It also keeps the room cooler, which I didn’t expect but definitely appreciate. Plus, it adds a nice bit of privacy without having to mess with heavy curtains or blinds.If you’re looking for an easy, affordable way to darken a room and add some privacy, I’d totally recommend giving this blackout film a shot. It’s one of those simple upgrades that makes a big difference.

The material is of good quality, completely blocks out light, and offers complete privacy.✅ What I liked:• Complete light blockage: Perfect for rooms where total darkness is needed.• Absolute privacy: No one can see through the window.• No adhesive: Leaves no residue and is easily removed.❌ What could be improved:• Complicated installation: It's not as easy to apply as it seems. It requires patience and precision to avoid bubbles and ensure a good adhesion.• Perfectly clean surface: Any dust particles affect adhesion.I would recommend this product to those who need privacy and darkness, but I suggest taking the time to install it properly for best results.
