ok 10 year old 3m tint. during the removal it left the sticky layer. as usual. tried steam, spray and sun steam, heat, tint off spray, praying, and more praying. still nothing is helping. sun steaming did help shrivel it up some. should i try windex and sun steam again? about to point to just replacing bg. trying to keep defroster.

I've tried tinting it many times. If anyone has tinted it before could you please give me a step by step walkthrough on how your shrink the tint? I've only managed to shrink it perfectly once and I can't seem to replicate it. I've tried to work each individual finger all the way up then move on to the next finger. I've tried going back and forth horizontally. Usually what ends up happening is that I'll end up with a corner that refuses to shrink anymore. Then in my efforts of heating it I'll get it hot enough to crease the film. Then it leaves a little whitish mark and I can't get the tint to lay down flat around it. Whats the best strategy for this window? Am I missing …

I don't think I have ever tinted one of these before. I have a 2009 Galant coming in this weekend and was wondering if there is anything to watch out for? I looked at some pictures online and they appear to be straight forward and simple but you never know sometimes. I did not see any other topics on this car, so I figured I would start one.

Has anyone got any tips on how to more easily remove the plastic surround that holds the internal door release handle? It is such a pig of a design. The bottom of it has a wire and the top of it has the world's nastiest clip that just doesn't want to come out easily. The design ruins an otherwise easy door trim removal. devil

I am just a customer. never tinted a day in my life, but am ready to have my windows tinted, by a professional. when I bought my car a few weeks ago, it had a really crappy CHROME tint on the windows and was absolutely hideous. I of course removed all the tint from the car, but I am left with the dot matrix on the rear window it has been spray painted. the pro tinter I talked to said he will be able to tint the matrix, and make it look perfect, without the use of paint or vinyl. but wants to charge me an extra 80 bucks just to remove the paint, and said its a pain in the ass. so to avoid having to pay an extra 80, and to prevent him from having to remove someone els…

Pajero
by Guest BlackOut- 1 reply

Straight forward job, but wee bit harder if you have wind deflector on windows. Cuts have to be made on the inside. Only 1 rubber need to be cut on rear static window as there is huge amount of space for other rubbers to move, just bend them toward you. I always take spare wheel of rear door and centre brake light off as well. Shogun has TWO cargo area side windows, one of which slides-not as easy-price accordingly-the overlap is always filthy. Hope this helps

I was doing an eclipse convertible unframed window the other day and I had a really hard time tucking the film inside the rubber plastic on the side of the window if you know what I mean.

2001 Eclipse Convertible
by Guest viol8r4- 5 replies
- 2.7k views
I recently tinted a 2001 eclipse convertible, this is the first convertible I have tinted. The driver has called me back and twice I have had to re-do the drivers side roll up due to peeling at the top. I used suntek HP and havent had any problems from this roll on any other car. I was wondering if it could be something to do with the convertible top and the seal around the window? I put a thin layer of vaseline on the seal the second time and it still peeled? The last time I made a more noticeable gap at the top of the window hoping that works...my fingers are crossed. But any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Was working at my local Mitsu dealer, when the service manager told me he spoke to a dealer in Florida that had tinted 10 new '07 Outlanders and the film peeled up on all the roll ups. In fact Mitsu sent a bulletin to all their dealers telling them NOT to tint that vehicle because of a new window channel system. Anyone hear of this? Tinted one? Mo

I'm wondering how these rear door window are to install. I may have on coming in soon and I hate 1/4 windows. Just did some on a Toyota a couple weeks ago and they sucked BAD. I'm not a panel puller so if anyone has any tips or pointers for these 1/4 panels or any for that matter, I am listening intently. If I have to start pullin panels so be it. It sounds like some of you pull the glass right out? Holla FB

An interesting review on the 2006 Mitsubishi Montero SUV, with information on features, performance, safety and design, and also a nice picture gallery. "It?s not often that an SUV can be all things to all people. But that?s exactly what you get with the 2006 Montero. The Montero is a bona-fide off-road legend. Specially prepared versions have won the grueling Dakar Rally for the last five years running. Success like that doesn?t come easy. It comes from pure capability. And Montero has it in spades, with the technology to master any terrain..." Here's the whole article: http://www.topspeed.com/cars/mitsubishi/mi...ro-ar12097.html

Is it mandatory to shift film when cutting?
I stopped side shifting a long time ago. Today the only cut I'll make is the bottom and top edges. Sometimes I'll shift the bottom down before cutting the top if the inside door sweep is low. For the sides I'll use a marker or grease pencil to mark the edges and cut them out on my peel board. One small wiggle can cost a bunch of embarrassment if you gaff a rubber or scar the glass.- 1

PPF Cutting Software
The only software not tied to a specific film manufacturer that I'm aware of is TintTek. They offered both tint and PPF patterns, it's been a number of years since I used them so I can't say what the current pattern quality is but at the time I switched their PPF patterns were hit or miss depending on the application. -

Tablet software
I'm not 100% sure so take what I'm about to say with a large grain of salt but what I think you would need to do is have your computer hooked directly to your plotter with whatever software you're going to use and then enable remote access to that computer via your tablet and run it that way.- 1

Is it mandatory to shift film when cutting?
It is probably easier to go on youtube and watch some videos but I'll try to explain as best as I can. In a nutshell you want to cut one side of the rolldown, shift the film over by 6-8mm on the same side you just cut, cut the other edge and then shift it back to "center" it (same amount of overlap on both vertical edges), roll the window down and then do your final cut along the top edge. As long as there is no light gaps you are good to go.- 1

Is it mandatory to shift film when cutting?
I’m in the learning process and many people shift there films quarter of a inch to the left or right. What does that do? I seen the tints on my car done by the dealer and the film doesn’t looked like it was shifted but there’s no light gaps either. -
