Its not like a tint that he is talking about. Its the sun blocker thing
at the very top of your windshield. I have it on my original cx
windshield.

just for everyone's info... I believe that 3m tints don't purple over time and if they do they'll replace it for free.

Also if your near a "tint-king" they will re-do the tint if it purples.

just for general info, the reason most tint film purples is from using cleaners that contain ammonia. that may not be the ONLY reason, but it is the most common.

I had mine replaced awhile back, the tint strip is considered an "upgrade" in the windshield world. BTW, mine has never leaked, etc, good PPG replacement, just over $200.
