That's why customers are banned from my workshop. There is a perfectly comfortable waiting lounge for that. Just explain that they cannot enter the workshop for OH&S reasons.

Lovely side windows, typical BMW gasket attachment but the front door hides a small screw under the little plastic cover plate where the door lock plunger goes up and down that should be removed.

I'd like to see how to remove the spoiler on these. I dry shrink them all....I cut the top against the spoiler and trim a tad off after dry shrinking for a nice top-edge and I leave an extra 1/8 of film overlapping the matrix on the bottom to compensate if the top comes up short.

that is exactly what I was doing but now I remove the spoiler , it seems like a lot if work but it's just like removing 1 on a focus.as soon as I get 1 I will post pics.i tint for BMW so shouldn't be to long

Dropped a bloody clip today in the back door of another X5 15 model and I had to remove the entire door trim....what a pain in the arse.

Only saving grace was that I got plentiiiii for the job which made me feel a lot, lot better.

Spot on Tikka.....as I went to pull the gasket up, I could see it was coming with it and as I lifted it out completely, it fell back and down inside. :sad

      TintX Puremax and Koolmax

      I’ve tried both pure max carbon and koolmax ceramic. So from what I’ve experienced the pure max is honestly very easy to work with and just feels right as the beginner I am. I’ve easily shrunken rear and front windshields as a beginner with the pure max so I know someonewith experience can easily work with it. However I’m not sure if just me but the koolmax ceramic has just been a headache thing to shrink on rear windows only. Heard the adhesive isn’t as good either especially by dot matrix’s which I encountered on a 2000 mustang. But yea I recommend the pure max line although I switched over to geoshield .

      Cracked glass

      The above post is a bit controversial and naive in nature. May I suggest improving technical knowledge by using a film-to-glass chart, IWFA's study on window film use on dual pane glazing systems, and glass itself. Air/gas used in dual and triple pane glazing systems has zero impact on what gets installed. Absorption rate of film and glass edge quality impact the aforementioned glazing systems most. The film used in the OP has absolutely no reason to be installed to the exterior surface. Neither do the vast majority of film products that carry an absorption rate less than 50%. Start searching for good quality information to better serve you and your clients. And finally, installing on the exterior maybe has a life expectancy of 5-7 years before seeing degradation. Properly installing a product deigned for the interior (on the inside) increases life expectancy up 20-25 years, depending on the quality of the film.

      Question about VLT variance

      I just did a minor search on google and found this about the tinting laws of Illinois State. Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 6 inches of the windshield. Front Side windows: Must allow more than 35% of light in. Back Side windows: Must allow more than 35% of light in. Rear Window: Must allow more than 35% of light in. Please keep in mind that it is only for Sedans, if you have SUV then the law is different.
