Opinions on my vinyl sunstrip...

I currently have a Vinyl sunstrip on my car that blocks out almost every single bit of sunlight.. only the sun itself can come through it. I've had it for about a year now and it's starting to show signs of wear... which is common.

I paid $20 for the strip so if it has to come off... it's not that bad really.

Here it is on the car:


Here is the wear:



Should I:
Trim it down some (hard because I'd had to make sure it was straight afterwards)
Take it off and have a new one put on....
Take it off and put a 5% strip on the inside about 1.5" to 2" down more

1) Pull off and leave normal.
2) Pull off and put whatever % you have on the rest of the car up there
3) If you must, 5%

5% won't be enough, you might as well make it double 5%.

ROSS DRESS FOR LESS Kind of like a TJ MAXX. Its defective name brand clothing, like a letter on a shirt came out wrong or a pocket was sewed wrong or something to that nature

As for the strip, take if off, clean clean the windshield, and have a new one put on the inside

It won't be as dark as it normally is because the rest of the winshield will be uncovered. Also, compared to the black vinyl strip, the 5% tint will be too light.

I'd just trim it. Get some masking tape and a razor.
