Removing brake light 05 Lexus 430 4 door

Hello everyone, I have a 05 Lexus 430 4 door that I have overnight and I was wondering if anyone has pulled the brake light out of the back deck and how is it done?? It seems like its just pushed in and you should be able to squeeze the housing like a honda and it pops out but its not! :inot I dont want to break it trying and it would be so much easier to clean and install tint without it there. Anyone have any helpful tricks.. Thanks all!!

Need advice on Rear small windows on Lexus IS 300

Hi, Im just a consumer and have no expertise in tinting. I just got my new Thundercloud Grey Lexus IS 300 Sport Design done in Quantum Tint (has a silver/gold color to it) I thought it looked terrible on. So much so that I had the tint shop who installed it strip it off. I paid them to put 22% grey tint on and it looks awesome! The question I have is, on the small rear windows (triangle shaped). The tint fits in all the cracks near the edge so you cant see where the window boarder begins and ends from the outside. but as you go up the side toward the top (on the side facing the back of the car) the tint doesnt go all the way to the rubber. I asked the guys a…

SC-300 Recommendations Needed
by Guest adamb- 0 replies
- 2.8k views
I just got a great deal on a '92 SC-300 but there is no tint at all. I live in Austin Texas and summer is coming, if I don't get this thing tinted I am going to burn to a crisp driving around with untinted windows. In case it matters, the color of the car is "midnight blue pearl". This isn't mine specifically, but it is the same model and paint job: I would like some recommendations on: - What is the best tint to get for this make/model (emphasis on heat-reduction and quality of film). - What is a good balance between state compliance (as dark as possible) and safety? - Who to take it to in Austin (do you know someone good). Hook 'em.

Have done 2 this week one with hp 15 suntek and other with std 35 suntek, the 15 was harder to sit down on the heater lines than the 35% ,but the 15 took more heat and after a while it all sat down ,but you could see where the film bumped over the heater lines even after a lot of heat, first car was for joe public and the second one was for a dealer after I tinted a mechanics car that works for them, he got me the job and they said that I will get all there work from now on oh no more grief on the back windows

Just a tip on doing these front door glasses for this off-roader. The film fingers in about 7 places at the bottom so make sure you place the machine edge of the roll to the top of the door trim. Taking off the door trim......... Remove internal black plastic surround from rear view mirror area. Dead easy, just lift out towards you.....typical Toyota. Remove grey plastic plug below that area by pushing in the lug and popping out the whole unit...typically Toyota again. Remove screw from behind internal door unlocking mechanism and screw from recessed grab handle area. This is also dead easy. Now the difficult part without breaking anything! The trim is fixed in by …

When tinting the door glass windows on this model find the pinswitch at the rear of the door frame,there is a phillaps screw at the botten of the switch remove the screw when you do this it will disconnect the ground to the pinswitch and the window will roll up to the top and stay up until you replace the screw.

Can this be fixed? Wondering how this happens
Any impact from polishing, if the mar responds to polishing, would result in no or little visible trace. Anyone experienced in buffing glass will likely say, no guarantees; unless they've experienced the same mar on glass.- 1

Boat window tinting tips
I use(d) these that are readily available through grocery stores; on installs that should not have a blade running across their surface. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Scotch-Brite-3PK-Dobie-Cleaning-Pad/580762256?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=101033794&gclsrc=aw.ds&&adid=22222222227580762256_101033794_160178497084_20981201920&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=689850595863&wl4=pla-2274697737319&wl5=9008682&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=255470249&wl11=online&wl12=580762256_101033794&veh=sem&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyo335LbOhQMVo0tHAR1HpQC8EAQYASABEgKydfD_BwE Need to know whether the boat has glass or does it have plexiglass (acrylic) or Lexan (poly-carbonate). Glass is not worrisome, the other two are. Plexi will blister from out-gassing in no time at all, whereby, Poly-carbonate is a crap shoot as to when and how serious, if any, blistering of film occurs. Both Plexi and Ploy may also be difficult to remove, if the need arises down the road mainly getting the adhesive of without damaging the surface. Both should not be warranted given the aforementioned potentials and these conditions should be discussed with the owner.- 1

We've seen it on new vehicles, polishing it should remove it. Definitely not the shops fault.- 1

Can this be fixed? Wondering how this happens
no, aside from window cleaner I’ve not tried anything else yet like goo gone, a razerblade, etc… I’ll probably leave that to the detailer. question: when polishing glass will it impact the visibility after? I guess I’m now weighing between having them try to correct it or just leaving it be. -

Boat window tinting tips
I start those at $750 and go up. Best advice is no cutting on the glass and white scrubbie only, no cleaning blades. That glass is super soft. You may want to use a film liner to make a template to cut your patterns. -

Geoshield vs Maxpro
Hi! I’m new to the tinting world. Just completed a 5 day tinting course and want to purchase some films to start my mobile tinting. We trained with Geosheild, but there was a lot of talk about Maxpro and how it was good as well. Does anyone have experience with both of these? Which one is better to work with and easier to shrink? Prices on both are pretty close to each other. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. thank you!
