Door Panel Hanger

I saw the post that the brazilian tinter dude made about a hanger for holding door panels. I thought I would show you guys what I use:

It is basically 2 coat hangers, inverted and screwed together. One side hooks over the door panel rail, and the other side is used to hold the panel while you work on the install. Works great for you guys that take off panels and doesnt do any type of damage to the panel. There are several different types. Look for them at any hardware store....

Why would u take off door panels?? That takes too much time. by the time u take off the panel I have already done the window.. U don't kno how to put the film behind the 2nd sweep? u risk breaking clips on newer cars and trucks..

I used to be Brazilian tinter, but for some odd reason I can´t log on to that account any longer, so I made a new account. This wasn´t my idea, still good tip, although I´d rather not pulling panels.

What I do is remove the panel but allow it sit in the position lined up with the door holes and just push the bottom couple of holes in to the door trim.

That is enough to allow it to hang and be secure but now with huge spacing at the top where the film needs to go down.

Great tip but those coat hangers might to a little too thick for some doors where the glass is very close to the metal of the door. We use a flat metal piece where we bend it like an S and use one or two of those depending upon how heavy the door panel is.

For those that don't remove door panels, I find it very hard to believe you can do some cars without getting felt contamination in the tint.

That is just one configuration that I use. There are literally 100s of "types" of hangers you can choose from, low profile, wide, narrow, etc....
