09 Lancer

I havn't done / seen one yet . Easy / hard to tint ? removal of doors panels ? felt needed ? dot matrix ? you know ..the usual questions that make a difference B4 quoting

GRAVY

i've done a couple. i'm pretty sure we removed the panels, like we do with most. can't remember the details on removal though. no felt needed, no matrix issues, cake walk.

Good enough (needing felt or not was the main question for me ) no mit dealership here so I don't get many my way , thanks guys

they don't get much easier than this!! pieces of cake. Done dealer 16 of them.

to remove the door just the top half 2 screws and yes you need felt cake walk to tint

Blade just got saying no felt needed

i don't recall having to felt that model/year of lancer. i could be wrong...it happened once before.

Dayum..already priced it without felt..thanks Blade

COG's wrong, i'm right i think

I know the 2008's need felt..... Top of door panel pops back with the assistance of a bone tool and you can snatch out the sweeps (seems like there is 1 screw to remove)

Hopefully 2009 has felt !

i do the dealer it needs felt

hard rubbers sand it and felt it

dayamnit send me the bill for the felt Tdub

One stopped by today and wants it done Monday... I wasn't sure if it needed felt or not. Thanks guys

Only problem is I just realized I have about 2 feet of felt left. Tint Wizard (since you're in Canada), is there any place you can buy felt around? Or will I just have to get more from the supplier and put off the car till I get it in... I've never really looked around for it in stores

I tint these in huge numbers thanks to having 4 Mitsu dealers in my network. No felt needed but you will have to remove door panels and do some minor surgery. To remove the rear panels there are 3 screws...one towards the front of the door hidden under a plastic cap, one behind the door latch under a plastic cover and another behind the door pull, again with a plastic cover. Then remove the hard rubber from atop the metal and surgically remove the lower hard plastic liner with your olfa. The fronts are pretty much the same except the screw with the plastic cap is at the rear of the panel. The A pilar's small speaker will fall off when you remove the panel. Good luck, easy money!

so you want to hack the guys gaskets up instead of felting

no problem if your out of felt use the soft side of velcro it works the same got me out of some binds while ordering felt

Thanks Joe! Didn't think of that one

Thanks for the in depth removal of the panels However with all due respect, I've never made it a habit of cutting out rub rails..I just have a problem with it myself ..I'm too worried about wind whistle..I figured it was put on a car for a reason

im with you thats why i felt

easy

Yes needs felt downunder ...literally.
Devil

im fairly noob at tinting and i have seen the last posts about "felt"
i have had heaps of jobs come in from mitsubishi and holden because the rubber (hard plastic in my opinion) seals have scratched the tint
what is felting? and whats required? thanks
im only new at this and work in a car dealership and cant get much help from there

also found the speaker cover on the door has a tendancy of snapping when in a hurry

sorry one other thing, the outlander has the same problem, i posted there too

Remove door panel....apply felt to gasket that scratches window...reinstall door panel.
Felt rolls should be available from your film supplier.

thanks i dont have much to do with the supplier, (working in car dealership) i need to go to the parts department to order. i went there today to find out and all i got was "what are you talking about, why do you need that". at least now i know that it comes on rolls and i can talk to the supplier myself.
is it usually self adhesive or does it need to be glued on?
thanks for your help on a now obvious answer, i must have had too many beers when i asked
