2002 Mercedes s500, easy or hard car?

[Joetint]

Any tips or anytvhbg to look out for on this car? Haven’t done an older one like this yet

Easy car to tint, but very sensitive to water. The door contains the power seat controls, that are prone to malfunction.

Just got a pic of the previous tint and looks like all the felt seals are completely toast. How do I replace the felt? And how much additional charge to do it?

Probably be best to have them replace the sweeps before you tint it.

If I am not mistaken the inner belt line moldings on that year model are from the factory simply smooth surfaced without any felt on them. They will feel a little rough or "sand paper" like if you run your finger over them. The way I usually deal with those is to apply a felt window guide tape..easy to do and sticks really well without any prep. You can order it from 44tools. If I remember correctly it is around 1" wide..I cut each strip in half and apply to each inner molding. I charge $25-$30 for each door. I also seem to recall that if you do NOT do this then it will leave scratches/tracks in the film pretty much guaranteed.

Hope this helps you out!

@Sunbreakers they defintely need to be replaced. How can I replace them? How do you  pop panels off on these older cars ?

Again, if I am not mistaken this is a two or three step process.  there is a wood trim strip along top of the door. I believe it pops off from front to back. there are screws there you must remove and then pull handle assembly out of door first. You might want to look up this process on You tube just to make sure I am correct.
