Window Tint peeling issue

SoCal 370Z · 03-01-2010, 11:36 AM

I no longer tint, but when I did I always had the door panels removed, and custom—not pre-cut—tint applied so that the tint was at the glass edges, and way below the interior window sill scrubber. Never had one issue with peeling, ever.

I remember getting my 97 240 tinted. door panels removed, interior quarter panels removed, rear deck removed, dash removed. even took the sunroof completely out and layed it on the counter for him to do it easier.
50% front windshield, 28% (30) everywhere else. the guy was so thankful i made it that much easier on him.

I would never let anyone remove my door panels. Every other car I had that had the door panels removed for whatever reason, it came back with a rattle resulting from the trim clips being broken off. Even with my 370 when I had the reversing sensors installed they broke off clips in the back. I could hear the broken bits flying from side to side when taking a corner.

You just need to find those who have the experience, and the aptitude to do so. I've even had fixed rear quarter windows popped-out of their weatherstripping, and then tinted so there were no edges showing at all—looked entirely factory.

Or remove the panels yourself as I did.

Low Price and Quality are usually mutually exclusive.
