The 07's have two additional screws behind the arm rest. The armrest's are aggravating to remove. They have these cheesy plastic snap-in hooks that want to break off. Since I've got all windows to do, I found it easy to pry out the bottom, and the pry the top snaps loose from the bottom. Sorry for the bad pic, it was w/my phone.

I was wondering if these cars are even legal in the states? I'm not too... educated on cars. But, my boyfriend has wanted one of these foreeeevver. He said he thinks that you can have them imported and have stuff done to make it pass American standards. Is this true? Is it legal to drive with the steering wheel on the right side of your vehicle? I was just curious. These cars are pretty @#$% badass, and my boyfriend is serious about getting one if possible. That'd be pretty cool. Thanks.

I only did the 2 front doors...but the seals tuck nicely. I didn't see any reason to remove the panels. One thing I didn't like though, the windows had a 1 inch cock that swung both ways Adjust patterns accordingly.

Practicing on my friends 1993 Nissan Quest and just can't seem to get the back glass in one piece. I'm using Solargard Quantum 35, and dry shrinking per mdog's soap method. All goes well until the last 2 inches near the top & bottom edge. By then, the remaining film looks crumpled like cellophane paper, and it's hard to lay flat. Should I use a non-metallic film or do I just suck a$$? Please tell me the latter. I'm so tempted to throw in the towel and two piece this sucker...

I'm having a hard time getting this back window right. I use the mdog soap method and I get vertical creases all throughout the window. They are mostly at the top of the window. I use suntek film and have'nt had any trouble with any other models I've done. Is there a special way to shrink this back window? I know the defroster lines are thick as hell, but my problem is the shrink itself. I've moved the anchor low and high, but I still can't seem to get it to shrink right. Please help me out

Had trouble with this rear screen. Removed spoiler to get access to the curve on top. Was using baby powder/soap method dry shrink. Set the anchor higher than normal, had no problems shrinking the film to the glass. But where I had wiped a anchor, I do a H on the screen, on the sides it wouldnt sit flat. Wet checked it after, and all was fine other than on the edge of the screen, it still wouldnt lay down completley flat. Tried taking these from the sides to the bottom so could be shrunk down/up, but it didnt want to know. Had a good few attempts, on when on install all was fine apart from the sides again. Small fingers coming across, also where the rear defroster plug…

X Trail Rear Screen 1 2
by Guest Tint Bob- 11 replies
- 7.3k views
Anybody had problems with the heated rearscreen not working on the X-Trail model? In our quest for the perfect tint <smile> I think we have sometimes sanded the dot matrix down too far and damaged the screen. We stopped being too aggressive with the wet & dry some 6 months ago (after I had to replace a rear screen ?450 /$700! ouch) but are starting to get calls saying "my heated rear screen is not working etc" Be interested to hear anybody else view.

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
