Anyone added some light tint to their tractor cabs? How did it work out?

The only tint ive done was a Chevy K Blazer long ago. Although it came out perfectly, the film was easy to scratch. Never tried it again and actually removed a band of tint from my L4250 right after I got it. Ive seen a lot of hideous jobs with little air blisters all over.

I tented my L3560 five years ago. Still looks new. Never use ammonia based cleaners and the tenting should last 10-20 years.

My cars get tinted as soon as I bring them home, if not before.
I've only had one time with tinting coming loose and that is just recently my cars windshield tint is separating. The car was tinted in 2014 and has spent it's life never covered in Central California, usually with the windshield being in direct sun.

I used the perforated one way vinyl for my cab. I completely covered both doors and the rear window and put a 6" band on the front window.

I used this item: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074XB6BYW?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

It is installed on the inside of the glass. I can see thru it quite well and it really does a good job of keeping the hot sun at bay. The only problem I have noticed is when I'm trying to back up to park in a specific spot and if the sun hits my mirror the reflection is really brite and I have to do things really slow because I have to turn to look behind.
