Window Tint peeling issue

vipor · 01-07-2010, 08:26 AM

a proper tint shop will slide a 1/2" or more of the tint into the door to prevent that problem. have had 0 issues with my tint, even accidentally rolled down the windows a few times when i first got it.

Where did you get your tint done?

I have seen every Z window do that. I really don't think there will be a fix unless you cure it with a heat gun and don't touch the car for 5 days. I am don't even open the door. That corner is a tough one.

I got my windows tinted Dec. 23 and the car sat untouched for a week. Not sure if this will help or not but as of now I have no issues. We'll see.

I got my windows tinted by a reputable shop on Dec. 23 and didn't touch the car for about a week after. As of now I have no issues, but we'll see.

Yeah, we'll see if this fix today will do the trick. I won't be opening the windows of either side anytime soon, its bloody freezing in Dallas right now.

So far, I haven't seen any issues with the driver side tint, and I've rolled that one up and down much more than the passenger one, odd.

The problem is, the window opens every time you open the door

I just had mine done on Wednesday, we'll see if it starts peeling on me.

I had the same problem with corner peeling. the windows crack up and down when the door opens so I unhooked the window buttons and got them retinted. Waited 4 days hooked the buttons back up. Problem fixed

I will go for window tinting tomorrow, lets see, what will happen

Bright side: I can floor it for about 10 minutes and still be within the speed limit. NO chance of a ticket ::knock on wood::

Ur funny.

shabarivas · 01-07-2010, 03:06 PM

if your shop does a good job it will NEVER peel lol.... i paid 350 for my tint (install + everything)

CBRich · 01-07-2010, 04:10 PM

I too believe the problem is just the up and down action of the window when you open the door. Luckily my Z is a weekend car and I was able to let it sit untouched for a period of time. I would suggest this if at all possible.

antman22 · 01-07-2010, 05:57 PM

I got it back. I don't know a lot about window tint, but there's some bubbling of sorts on the window that got redone. The guy said that's normal and not to touch it for a few days and that it'll dry and be bubble free. Can anyone confirm or deny that?

I did think about the how the window goes down a bit when you open it. Luckily its the passenger door and not the driver side door. I told my friend that we'd go cruise on saturday, but i may just have to cancel that lol. I don't want to take any chances on the tint coming off again.
