    I like to add one for sun protections and I noticed sensor in glass . I am wondering if I run banner just above sensor if I will be ok or do i have to be for example 1" above the sensor?

    The tint shops will tint around it but it will look funny because the shaded area around the sensor will be below the tint strip. Someone on here has a pic of theirs.

    Kinda wanna do some graphic or maybe text. Just can't make a decision yet. Probably just leave it alone until It gets more usage.

    684EDEF0-EF5D-479F-B7E1-FED0F90BBEFC.jpg Were is the sensor located? Is it in the mirror and is it the auto darkening one? I have a letter banner and a dash cam shoved in mine and as long the sensor on mirror isn't with in 6mm of being blocked my auto darkening function works.
    You can always get a cheap sheet of tint from walmart or a parts store and cut a small piece and cover it to see if it will effect it before shelling out money to have a professional banner put in place.
    Hope this helps in someway or another. :)

    It's referring to the Safety sense sensor that is only on the 2018 and newer.

    Since its the safety sense sensor I would measure from top dow to were it starts and if its past 4" down then just do a 4" banner or stop right above it if its a tint strip. Can't remember off the top of my head plus it varies from state to state on the allotted section of tint or banner on the front windshield. Seems the pic posted of the one with tint banner stops right above it.

    You want to stay at least 1/2” above the top of the flat top triangle view window for the camera. I am an ADAS specialist diagnose the systems for a living.
