Late model Intrepids

Doing my first new intrepid tomorrow. Any advice?

the backglass is LONGER THAN HELL damn fingers are a foot long atleast take the plastic pod thing off on the front of the driver rollup, it makes getting the film in WAY easier.

i just did one today.

These suck! Am doing one now at the shop. What is with the windows rolling down and sliding back so much???

Probably wouldn't be so bad if the customer wasn't waiting for it.

I am so pizzed right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I personally like tinting these cars ..easier than the older models once you've done a few

Yeah..They're better than the old ones. Those REALLY sucked.

Plus the top of the panel pops right back. Being a panel puller it works nice for me.

if your into vinyling..it's an easier 1 peice to load in

Occasionally run into newer ones that need shrinking on the outside of the rear doors too. Only on some though.

I ALWAYS SHRINK THE TINT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE DOORS FIRST, SAVES THE BIG ASS FINGERS FROM POPPING UP DURING THE INSTALL.
OTHER THAN THAT THEY ARE CAKE, AN HOUR AND 15 MINUTES TOPS FOR THE WHOLE CAR

WHAT?..I COULDNT HERE THAT LAST REPLY....CAN YOU MAKE YOUR PRINT A LITTLE BIGGER....


but yes...some have to be shrunk...but i dont do it..but if i have to..i do the shrinking on the inside..at the bottom of the window..

Bringing an old thread from the dead here..but thought it would make someones life a little easier...it's a good idea to have a spare set of these around if your a tinter that likes removing or pulling panels on these cars. It's behind the peice that holds the triangle mirror cover in place on some yrs of this car...they can easily break and your screwed if they do...it's because of the force of your plug puller prying it off(no matter how gentle you are doing it...if the plastic is a couple of yrs old...not even that, they can break around the screw area...they only cost $5 for a set from the dealer. It's good to have around on hand so you don't have to worry about ordering them if it happens. Doesn't happen often..but it can...and not all intrepids have this peice in behind ( I think they smartened up along the way) so you can just pop them on with 2 screws.

i remove the whole panel. i never seen that piece before. are u sure its from an inteprid?

I'm not mistaken. It's from an Intrepid.

As I say ..some have them..some don't . I think they're a thing of the past , I've noticed them more on the 99 - 00 ones.

What happens is if the metal clip on the triangle peice is stretched out a little too wide...it breaks the plastic around the screws on the peice illustrated.

some /most have it where the triangle peice go right into the frame of the body(the right way...the smart way) ,but beware ..there are a few (surprise ones thare have this peice in behind it)

It's not a TOTW kind of thing...but just be awate they are out there...and they can break is all.

well the only triangle i ever seen is the cover where the tweeter is located? you have to unscrew that and then there are like 2 more inside. that's all i can remember. but like you said some may have some may not.
good advice either way.

I know a couple of you were wondering if I confused myself with thinking of another car with that peice I was showing you ...as I say..It's only on some Intrepids...it so hapens I booked one for a tint a few days after bringing this up so ...and it so happened to be that style , so snaped 2 pics to show you I haven't lost my marbles...well..completely

here it is behind mirror cover

well what do you know, that's what i was talking about, normally for me, the ones iv'e done have a tweeter inside but with a cover you know, must a be a cheaper version of intrepid

good to know you still have your jingle balls in order

Yeah...I actually prefere that style too...I think your right..these are the "non option" intrepids

no kidding.

seen those 05 civics with the cover over what is suppose to be brake light?

Bumpity-bump-bump.

I have one of these sometime next week. That b/g is scurrin me a bit.....Im confident I can one peice it, but any pointers on loading that into the car......?? ......reverse rolling has been quite tricky for me to learn. I've been getting by (barley) by frankinsteinin, but I kinda fold the film....not so it touches tho.

yep..frankie it ..only use a smaller peice from bottom of lines to bottom of window and sell them a $40 option of "filing" in the black lines with vinyl

Thats still a big peice to frankie!!! lol....good tip on seprate peice for the lines at top, Ill do that, scince you wont see the splice from the outside. No vynil here, film..or nuthin.

I booked one of these today myself ..done quite a few of them now.

At least theres nothing to take apart in the back at all ...no door panels to pull..they just pull back ..back doors need to be shrunk a bit.
