This is an extremely easy door panel....First, remove shiny end plate held with 3 torx (no pic, but obvious) Second, carefully pop cover revealing 1 larger torx Third, very carefully pop off metal trim piece, it's got some funky pops I've never seen There are two more larger torx up in the openings under the handle Then pop the door panel and lift up, popped off very easily, I was totally surprised (here I have it rested on a bucket, no reason to take it completely off) The felt piece is a little tricky, but comes off easily as well, it's attached to the front so just leave it hanging and tint yer winder, then put it back together Here's my disclaimer....I…

hey guys, a customer called me about doing an R and R on his "bubbly" rear window. 1994 mercedes c280 I've never messed with an older Mercedes like this and was wondering if anyone had any tips on the back window for me. - I've heard a lot of older mercedes have the rubber right at the edge with no black outline wiggle room, anyone know if this is the same on this model I told the custy I'd have to look at it first, but he won't be able to come by for a week or two and thought I'd do a little research in the mean time Thanks everyone

Initially started by the driver side window not opening completely, now it's not opening at all. Interior lights dim when hitting the window up/down button indicating that power reaches the motor but fails to open the window. I need to remove the drivers side door panel - with out damaging it. Window and door lock controls are on the centre console, non on the doors. Thanks for your help. Ronald ron@go-west.co.za

'08 E350 wagon
by Guest Mo Evo- 7 replies
- 2.8k views
Did a new E class wagon today. I've done them previously but it's been a while. The defroster lines are SO thick, that I had 'stars' all over the lines from the shrink. I used a dry shrink with low heat, but dayam! NEVER had this problem to quite this degree. The customer is very understanding, because, while it looks OK from the outside, looking at it on the tint side, it has long 'thick' air pockets along some of the lines. Any suggestions for future installs?

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening. -

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you -

Process
Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape? -

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money! -

Boat window tinting tips
The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.- 1

Boat window tinting tips
Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!- 2
