  • Free installation, wherever suits you — after you order we email you to book a time. Our installer comes to your door, or you drop in at a local garage we've arranged. Done, wired and tested before you leave. Australia, Canada, Europe, New Zealand, the UK and the USA. Not sure we reach you? Full refund if we can't arrange an install at your address.
  • No fitment list, no model lookup — each sheet is 100 x 50 cm and gets trimmed to your glass on the day. One sheet per side window, any make, any model.
  • Black or clear whenever you want — switch the whole set from the driver's seat with the included RF remote. No app, no pairing, no phone.
  • Handles itself when you park — on a switched 12V circuit the film goes frosted on its own when the ignition is off, so the cabin doesn't heat up the way it does behind bare glass.
  • Kill the glare when you're parked — powered off, the film scatters direct sun instead of letting it drill through, so the cabin stays soft-lit instead of baking.
 
 

JUST TAP

One Tap. Instant. Any Time You Like.

Full privacy at a tap, clear view at the next one — switch back as often as you like.

What owners say

"Boyfriend wanted this for his Tacoma for years before I finally agreed to split the cost. Turns out I use it more than him now for changing after the gym."

Danielle R. - Rapid City, SD - Toyota Tacoma

"Skeptical at first, my husband thought this was a gimmick when I ordered it for the Bronco. He's the one who flips it now every time we park somewhere crowded."

Amber G. - Duluth, MN - Ford Bronco

"Construction shifts mean changing clothes in the Colorado more often than I'd like. This has made that a lot more private without needing to find a bathroom."

Paolo R. - Eau Claire, WI - Chevy Colorado

All three switch the same way. What changes is how dark your windows sit day-to-day — pick the look you want people to see.

The closest to bare glass. Powered on it barely reads as tinted; unpowered it turns frosted translucent white.

A visible tint you keep all the time. Powered on you still see out clearly; unpowered it goes darker and blocks the view in.

Deep tint, day and night. Powered on it is still dark; unpowered almost nothing gets through. The darkest of the three by a wide margin.

How it works

Privacy glass you can switch off.

Like bathroom glass with the power off. Give it power and you see straight through.

How PDLC switchable film works Cross-section of the film in two states. With the power off the liquid crystals sit at random angles and scatter incoming light. With the power on they line up and light passes straight through. OFF Light Scattered Liquid crystals Your glass ON Light Straight through Lined up Your glass

Power off - the light gets scattered

Millions of crystals, too small to see, lying at random angles with no power. Light hits them and scatters instead of coming straight through, so harsh sun turns soft and nobody can see in.

Power on - the light goes straight through

Power swings every crystal the same way, like the teeth of a comb. Light passes straight between them and the glass reads clear.

Proven at factory scale

Switchable glass is factory equipment on six-figure cars.

Audi and Porsche build the same liquid-crystal technology into their factory glass roofs. Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Cadillac and Rivian ship switchable roofs of their own. TapTint puts it on the windows your car already has.

Sizing

One sheet covers one window.

No fitment list, no model lookup. One sheet is 100 × 50 cm — big enough for a standard side window on almost any car, and your installer trims it to your glass on the day.

Rated by drivers who park in the real world

Privacy when you stop, clear glass when you drive. Here's what owners say.

Three things come up again and again: how fast it switches, how private the frosted state really is, and how quickly it becomes part of the daily routine. These are verified buyers across the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the UK.

"Park downtown for work every day and the back of the 4Runner is basically a gear locker. One tap and nobody's window-shopping my stuff. Remote reaches from the office door."

"Kids call the Camry the disappearing car every time their dad hits the remote in the driveway. Genuinely useful too, not just a party trick, since we park on a busy street most nights."

"Controller lives in the glovebox so there's nothing to see from outside. Frosted when it's parked, clear the second I'm driving — that's the whole thing for me."

Straight answers

The questions skeptics actually ask.

In the order people actually ask them, answered the way we would answer them over email.

What happens if it fails or stops switching?

One year from delivery, covering delamination, permanent hot spots, failure to switch, and electrical failure of the controller or remote under normal use. See the Warranty page.

Is it really clear when it is switched on?

It reads see-through, but it is not identical to bare glass - some PDLC shows a slight haze.

Can I return it?

30 days from delivery on uninstalled kits in original packaging. Once a panel is cut or applied, that panel is not returnable. Full terms in the Refund Policy.

Who installs it?

We do. A certified fitter comes to your home or work, measures your glass, cuts the film, wires the controller, and tests it with you before leaving. Installation is included in the price.

Which shade should I pick?

That depends on the shade you chose, and the shade is permanent – it’s how your glass looks in both states. White is closest to bare glass and turns frosted translucent white when it’s off. Light Black keeps a visible tint at all times. Dark Black is deep enough that it stays dark day and night.

Still unsure about something? Email support@taptint.com - a person answers, and it is better to ask before you order than after.
