Sunroof issue

justn8 · June 21, 2011

Did a Solara for a guy, also did the sunroof. All I did was close the sunroof and apply the film. Didn't apply a bunch of pressure with the squeegee (never felt anything shift at all). Anyway, he just called and said it won't work... then put down the phone and tried opening it while applying some pressure with his hand and said it's off the track or something. Does that even happen? This happened to anyone else? I don't get it.

He should of brought it back without touching it. I would never be liable for any damage that you tried to fix without giving me a chance to fix. Who knows what he has done to it trying to get it to work after leacing your shop. Could of made minimal damage turn into large costly damage.

In all my years tinting I have never ran into a problem like this. Customers always want to blame the tinter. :dunno

Exactly my thoughts...

He was all about getting that sunroof done... then tipped me after the job. Then today calls about this :dunno

if you did not open or close the sunroof to tint it. Then you can't say if it was even in working order when you tinted the window.

I would have the custy bring the car in and see if it is just out of adjustment. It could be that the sunroof is just out of sinc which will cause some sunroof's not to work at all. If anything is broken I would blame the custy for forcing the roof open. Not caused by installing film to the window. :dunno

It was open when he dropped it off. I closed it so I could get to the back end of it. Closed perfectly fine. Never tried to re-open.

What do you do if it's just out of sync?

:lol all within a month. What the hell eh.

This one, well, I didn't do anything :dunno Closed the roof, put on the film (even only wet the film, didn't soak the whole roof, just cleaned with minimal water). Don't see how that can cause anything :lol

I have a feeling it had an issue before.

Oh hell... just realized these things usually come in threes. What's next? :lol

Wait, right, I'm not superstitious, phew.
