A sun strip must stay within a limited band across the top of the windscreen so it never intrudes on the driver’s main line of sight. The WA rules for sun strips set how far down the windscreen they can go, and we measure and position every strip to sit inside that zone. During the on-site assessment we confirm placement against current requirements before any film is applied.
Most sun strip fittings are quick compared to a full tint job, typically taking under an hour once the glass is prepped. The exact time depends on the windscreen curve, the width you choose, and whether an old strip needs removing first. We recommend leaving the film to cure for a few days afterwards before cleaning the area so the bond fully sets.
A sun strip is a shaded band that only covers the top edge of the windscreen to block direct glare, while a sun visor is the flip-down panel inside the cabin you position by hand. The strip works constantly without you touching it, which is part of what a sun strip is and why Perth drivers choose to add one for that low, blinding sun. Many drivers use both together.
Yes. We can match the strip’s shade to your existing window tint so the vehicle looks consistent from front to back. During the assessment we compare the film against your current tint and recommend an option that blends in. Getting a clean, cohesive result comes down to careful colour matching and precise positioning along the top of the windscreen.
They do, though utes and 4WDs sit higher with different sightlines, so placement is adjusted to suit that seating position. A taller cabin can mean the sun hits the glass at a different angle, which changes where the strip is most effective. We assess each vehicle individually on-site and position the strip so it shades glare without cutting into your view of traffic lights and signs.
For drivers regularly facing Perth’s intense low sun, a sun strip is a small change that makes a real difference to comfort and visibility on daily trips. It cuts glare without affecting your main view and, when well fitted, lasts for years. If you’re weighing it up, feel free to contact us to talk through widths, styles, and what suits your vehicle.
