2003 Ion 4dr. any problems?

Doing one of these soon..anything to watch out for ?

Thanx guy/gals

ION?

Saturn:

doesnt look like it would or should be a problem..but havent done one yet...

yeah TD, I think that's what it looks like...I know it's made by Saturn..anyone done one of these things? Do they suck or a cakewalk?

kinda looks like a nissan maxima..or altima...

Yeah, but looks can be deceiving...I'll tint just about anything, thought I'd get a heads up if there is one from anyone whose done these cars.

Watched one get tinted in Minneapolis yesterday, average 4 door, moderate difficulty in back glass shrink and has the plastic weatherstrips at the door panel that scratch the tint, needs to have felt strips applied to the weatherstrip to avoid this.

the kind of felt strips you would get at a fabric store that have the sticky adhesive on the one side ?

Not sure if the adhesive on that type can stand high temps.


or access www.llumartech.com and look for it under tech alerts or site updates, you'll find the info there too.

LOL..I useto go on Llumartech all the time..till I started hanging around here in TD! I'll check that out, thanx for the heads up!

Funny I find myself doing the same.

Probably cause this place is more to the moment than the other.


Be sure to ask for the acrylic adhesive when ordering and get 1 1/2 inch width not 1 inch. Acrylic can stand higher temps.

Good luck

TW that car is pretty easy, the front door glass shifts a little, not as bad as a cavalier, the quarter windows SUCK ....the weatherstrip is big and blocks some of the glass, i have only done like 2 of them and didnt have time to experiment with the best way to tint the quarters so they look really really good. hope this helps (other than that, they're easy)

sounds good Zro..so you had no concerns with tint scratching with plastic gaskets I'm hearing about?

OK..so here I am posing a yr after my last post..I finally had one of these things in (rare around here) easy as pie ! Easy 1 peice shrink, no screws to remove, all panels pull back from the top, rubber pulls off easy off the borders for easy install of doors and 1/4 windows and no scratching issues
