These types of attacks are becoming more and more frequent in South Africa, due to the unstable political climate we find ourselves in.

​

A new division, called Urban Air Mobility, is to explore the concept and they envisage using it similar to a car sharing scheme.

Using the skies can reduce cost of city infrastructure planners.

​

A spokesman for the company declined to say how much is being invested in this urban mobility

​

It would make alot of sense for them to shatterproof their windows with Klingshield, for safety sake as well as glare and sun protection.

These cars will have a longer lifetime and far lower maintenance and insurance costs.

AA national survey - BusinessDay - 18th May 2017

​

According to an AA article, road safety needs to be improved.

The AA's national survey revealed that close on 75% of motorists are of the opinion there is an alarming deterioration in driver behaviour.

​

It also learned that 90% of South African drivers believe compliance with the law has become worse.

​

"Given our country's high Easter road fatality rate, this attitude implies not enough motorists are taking responsibility for their actions, which is worrying."the AA said.

​

We believe that all vehicles should be fitted with Klingshield Safety Film to give you and your loved ones the best protection.

YOU magazine article

​

An independent test was conducted by YOU magazine on our window film.

They parked two almost identical vehicles next to each other in the sun, one tinted with Klingshield and one without our product.

 

Temperature readings were taken after an hour and the results were very surprising.

​

The outside temperature was 20° C. The temperature inside the untreated vehicle with no window tinting was a staggering 60° C, whilst the temperature inside the vehicle with the tinted windows was a remarkable 45° C.

This is 15° C lower.

​

Proof that if you wish to keep your vehicle's interior in good condition for longer and also save on fuel, by using the air conditioner less often, you should have you vehicle's windows fitted with Klingshield window film.

They don't make them like this any longer

​

As the creator and editor of Klingshield’s Smash & Grab news page, I am a fan of old classic cars from the 1950’s era.

​

Below is a video showing you more details of a 1959 Mercury, which is a rare and elegant beast. At that time in history, tinting of car windows became a reality, to reduce the temperature inside cars, as many of them did not have air conditioning units.

Johannesburg is the most dangerous city in the world to live.

We pride ourselves in offering the best quality Smash & Grab window tinting on the South African market.

​

Not only are you under threat by smash and grabbers, but you are even attached by law enforcement offices who believe they can abuse you, because they have a badge and belong to the government’s forces.

​

Elon Musk has just rolled his his latest Tesla economy brand.

​

This eco-friendly car is reasonably priced and can travel 215 miles on one electric charge.

​

Klingshield’s smash and grab tint is a useful add-on to reduce the amount of energy used by the air-conditioning, as well as to shatterproof the windows in the event of a smash and grab attack.

​

These smash and grab attacks are happening in all the major cities around the world.

Automotive finance companies using kill switches.

​

Financial watchdogs are up in arms and trying to enforce finance companies to stop installing this technology into the vehicles.

​

Obviously if the client skips a payment, the kill switch is activated and the vehicle is disabled. The vehicle can only be utilized once the finance company unlocks the switching device.

​

If the vehicle happens to switch off in a bad location, at least the Klingshield Smash and Grab window film will offer driver and passengers some form of safety.

​

Klingshield Smash and Grab tint not only shatterproofs the car windows, but it also reduces the amount of sunlight from passing through the windows.
