Carmeltinting.com Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 So I went to tint an Audi A8L yesterday. I wanted to cover the entire rear window, not cutting out for the brake light. I was presented with a problem though. The space behind the brake light is very narrow and my side swiper was not only too thick, it was also too short to reach the area and squeegee the slip solution out. Since I had ordered 3 Titans when they first came out (and stuck with them as I found them too flimsy to use on anything to date), I decided to try it on the A8. Voila! It remarkably did the trick! Squeegeed out all the water and got back behind the light very nicely. So I believe in giving credit where credit is due. The Titan, while not an everyday tool because I still believe it is too flimsy, saved my rear end on the A8 and for that fact I am greatful to ZOLA.

Glad that the tool could help you out on an install. They recently revised the Titan to make it a bit stiffer, but it is still fairly flexible and a bit thicker. For what you described, the extra thickness would not have helped. Anyway, thank you again for the order and the feedback you provided above.

Guest SIR TINTSALOT Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I could of used a titan last week... I was doing some onsite dealer work and was doing a ford Taurus with the third light. I was using my bulldozer and all of a sudden it just snapped in half! We were 35 minutes away from the shop and all I had was my side swiper and conquerer with me and it took me 1/2 hour to get all the water from behind the light, and the whole time I was pushing down on the rear deck as hard as I could and getting pissed off. I've been wanting to get a titan but just havn't picked one up yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
