Cooper Flags - can't really see through?? - MINI Cooper Forum

I just had a Union Jack installed on my Sunroof - it came from Cooper Flags - looks fantastic!

I do have a question though, it was just done yesterday and right now from the inside you can see light, but it's not really see through - more like there is a plastic film covering the window. Will that get better as it ages? The shots on their website in the gallery look as though you can see pretty clearly though it.

I'll try to take some shots in the next day or so to show what I mean.

Don't get me wrong - I love the graphic, just wondering.

Thanks!

If you can't see through it's not windows graphic (with little holes)

It is with little holes - I'm just saying you can see light but everything is very very blury - like it has vaseline or grease on the windows - you can't see anything but shapes.

That is because all clear overlaminates are not optically clear...

If they used 3M 8914 you would be able to see through it clearly. Most overlaminates cost about a 3rd of this 3M. Which is why you probably just have a clear overlaminate.
