it's the tint, you're not the first one to notice this

 

[Frenky Tan]

But I been using it quite some time only today I noticed this with CPL installed.
Are you sure the tint?

Are you sure the tint?

yes, peel the tint off and it won't do it anymore

 

[Jiali Liu]

Is it possible that you've installed the CPL in wrong angle?
For your imformation

Heat damage to your CPL. If you examine it you'll find the CPL shows waves causing the rainbow effect.

He's from Malaysia. West Malaysia. Situated very near the equator just above Singapore. Noon temperatures can reach +40's C with very high humidity. No 4 seasons. Just rain or no rain year round. Always hot and sunny.

The first time I noticed the effect shown in the photo was in ... 1972. Yes, 1972. I had bought a polarizing filter for a movie camera when I lived in Germany. I put the filter on a movie camera and mounted the camera in a 1971 Capri (bought in Germany). When I removed the filter, then the movies showed no such colored effects, but when I attached the filter I obtained the same effects as shown here. Later, after mounting the camera with the polarizing lense in a car I bought in California, those effects were gone.

you probably forgot to remove the protector film thingy, happened to me briefly because i did not know there was 2, just removed the one on the outside and forgot about the inside one.

Huh? you mean CPL filter just like like coating? It will degraded after sometime due to heat? Can anyone confirm this?

Seriously on your CPL, can you see any waves on it? like slight bending?

 

[Frenky Tan]

No it's straight, because it's glass right?
I did turn over up side down.

After using CPL I noticed beside reducing glaring and more vivid video, all car's the windscreen reflected like rainbow effect, very obvious.

Reason I said heat cause it was from my DIY CPL. It worked OK whole year until last summer's hot weather have cause downloaded clips showing rainbow effect like you're having. I checked my CPL and found it have a very slight barely noticeable bulge on it. My CPL was made from plastic lens from old sunglasses. Car was parked on airport open air parking for 5 days.
