2012 Mercedes C Series beware

September 2, 2012

The little triangle behind the back doors are very easy to scratch.

We clean the window with razor blade as normal and it's scratch up really bad. Doors are no problems. Now time to pay to get it replace. 11 years this is the first time.

new car 2012..? Just tint it. No blade is needed unless you see a sticker.

I dont usually take blades to brand new cars unless there is a sticker that needs to be removed.

weird thing is, the scratches did not show up until a day later, and it's horrible, it's look like you blade it to plastic

Another weird thing is only little windows scratches up, the doors is fine? what can explain this?

Thanks guys, next time no blade on new car,

I tint these things every day, just make sure you use a fresh stainless steel single edged 1" blade for the inside.. and when you cut your tint use a stainless olfa with a fresh breakoff. I have never scratched the inside of the quaters even with the new 2013's but I have on the outside when cutting the tint due to the olfa not being freshly broken. also be especially carefull with the S-Class, all of the windows are double paned and the glass is very soft. even a fresh olfa will slightly scrathc the glasss. just go nice and easy on it.

Guys and gals: Take an extra button off your pants. Put it under the tint and your olfa point in one of the thread holes. Cut the back window out like this and never scratch the back glass again. I usually only do this for Benz's but obviously any car can be cut this way.
