    Tinting Passenger Car Windows...

    This looks like another project where clear mailing labels would work well. I have some I use for windows that work really well. I have one type that are slightly tinted and really look great. Print whatever you want on them then cut and stick.

    CDU is Caspasitor Discharge Unit. Not sure but that could be your problem. You may need some research on that.

    I have also used clear mail labels which are really not clear but have a defused look to them. If you want to you can print a curtain on them and then stick that to your windows. I have done that a few times.
