Because of poor public transport, private transport in South Africa is the default for many people using their own daily drivers for commuting. With a thriving car culture among the locals, these cars are often modified as well. Modifications can include anything from grotesque wings to sound systems and central locking systems. Unfortunately, crime is a real problem in South Africa. Anyone can be the victim of a smash-and-grab incident or, worse, a hijacking. Therefore, it is critical to optimise the security measures on your daily driver.


The objective of a smash-and-grab crime is to gain access to the interior of your vehicle by smashing a window and grabbing valuables from the car. Often, older vehicles are targeted due to them being less likely to have anti-smash-and-grab window-protection film fitted. Newer model vehicles often have stronger glass with pre-installed window film to make life difficult for anyone trying to smash a window. At Electronic Fitment Centre, we offer a wide variety of products for your vehicle. Our selection includes a host of useful security upgrades as well. If your vehicle does not have anti-smash-and-grab window protection, we can be of assistance.

SunTek Smash-and-Grab Window Films

Glass windows shatter when smashed. The shattered glass causes the window to disintegrate into small pieces. When glass windows are reinforced with a laminated film, the pane breaks but stays in one piece. The film provides a backup structure for the glass and reinforces it to give the window more resistance. As a result, the glass will be much harder to shatter. This will buy some time for you to react and escape without losing valuables or facing an even worse situation.

Electronic Fitment Centre fits SunTek’s anti-smash-and-grab window film for vehicles. This safety film carries a 7-year warranty to give you the ultimate peace of mind. Anti-mash-and-grab films are also commonly used to tint the windows on your vehicle. The SunTek window films are available in 35% and 50% tints, as well as a clear option for those who do not want any tinting, but still want the protection. They are also available in 100- and 150-micron thickness variants. Therefore, you can choose the ideal safety film for your vehicle’s windows.

Electronic Fitment Centre has a myriad of useful upgrades and modifications that we can install on your daily driver. Safety is an important aspect in South Africa, so upgrade your vehicle with some anti-smash-and-grab window-protection film today. Our website features information on our available products and solutions. Choose Electronic Fitment Centre today and let us enhance your driving experience with useful upgrades for your vehicle.
