A sunstrip is the classic dark band along the top of the windscreen. See why it's still one of the most popular upgrades, what film to use, and how to keep it looking crisp.

What is a Windscreen Sunstrip?

A sunstrip is a narrow band of tinted film applied along the top of your windscreen. It cuts glare when the sun is low, gives the front of the car a finished, sporty look, and matches perfectly with a full window tint.

Why Get a Sunstrip?

  • Cuts overhead glare — massively helpful on Irish motorways at sunrise/sunset.
  • Complements full window tint for a factory-look finish.
  • Blocks UV rays where the factory shade band doesn't reach.
  • Adds subtle style without any risk to your NCT.

Is a Sunstrip Legal in Ireland?

Yes — provided it stays within the top portion of the windscreen and doesn't intrude on the driver's field of view. We fit sunstrips to the manufacturer-marked line on the top of your screen, well within the legal zone.

How Much Does It Cost?

A professionally-fitted sunstrip at Saturn Styling starts from €50 (Performance) or €70 for the Savvy Ceramic version. It takes about 60 minutes.

Aftercare

Aftercare essentials:

  • No washing for 48 hours.
  • Small water bubbles disappear within 2 weeks.
  • Never scrape ice off the sunstrip — use lukewarm water.
