Hi


I was wondering if any one has done a BMW 745 because i´ve got one this week and wondering if anyone has any tips!

Thanks

the radio brain is in the trunk on in the left panel that opens up. shove some towels in there to keep the brain from getting wet. other than that...its a tint job.

The rear door chrome molding pops right off. You can pull it off with your hands. I use to stuff towels in the back but every time I take the towels out they're not wet. Now I dont even stuff towels back there anymore. Tape the side felt and try not to get the window switches wet. beer.gif

well one time i didnt stuff towels back there and it cost me $1,200 for a new brain from BMW. take you chances...they always wet when i pull them out.

Make sure your patterns do not have too much film at the sides, the sides can be tight on those cars.

Just pulled a 750 out of the bay that i just completed, like thatsnappyguy said, make sure to cover up that computer thing... Just don't spray alot of excess water, spray only what ya need, good luck beer.gif

uh.gif Ouch!
Same thing happened to me on my first one back when they were first out. The BMW dealer hooked me up and took care of it for me... Their AWESOME!!!
Now I use towels in the trunk, but I have come up with another idea that helps even more........ I take tork wipes and roll them into little buritos and stuff them in the back window at the bottom... there is a "perfect" gap for them to sit and absorb!!!!!!

To boot... I squeegee up from the bottom and catch the water with my wipe towel...... Works like a charm trust.gif

beer.gif I do the same thing with my benz dealer. They always take care of me, and any issues I have. Panels and back deck are out when I arrive beer.gif makes it a cakewalk on any of their cars.

on the bentleys/745s/etc I shove a half roll of paper towel in each side(like someone else on here said?) to catch the water. Its worth the $2, plus you can usually reuse most of the paper towel for cleanup.

I dont just pop the cover off the sides I'll take my panel popper and take the entire thing out and stuff towels over everything. I've done this several times and my towels were never wet or even moist. I don't spray that much slip on these cars. Your right snappy why take chances. beer.gif

I like to spray the BG's pretty heavily, since I like my film to slide around a lot beer.gif
