Had car in shop but once we popped the trunk we decided to let this one go. Customer is hoping we can figure out a safe way to tint this thing. Anyone done this car successfully? Only thing I can figure out is pulling the back seat and removing trim around the electrical panel to see if we can access the area to make it water tight. Can't find anything on this car. Would love to tint this thing. Frustrating

This is what it looks like out of the vehicle. Everything mentioned above is dead accurate. I use the long handle tool to reach the two outer clips. The center clip will release with a gentle pull after you un screw the 10 mm bolts. Going back in requires as much patience. but will fall into place once you line it up. Headliner is extremely tight. Threading the 10mm back in is challenging. would be much easier with a cordless ratchet " Careful prying around the glass"

Has anyone done this car?

LOL, I use to look that young. That's my son

Anything out there? Has anyone done any physical testing on this films?,This film is popping up quite a bit here in the North East as a basis of design. Not sure if I believe there specs on paper.  Looking for something comparable.

Water supply is most likely your culprit. Keep distilled water on hand if you’re using an unknown or unreliable source of water. Also I’ve suspected for a long time that contamination can also be coming from the slip solution. Don’t know how to test that theory. but the slip could possibly be contaminated in the manufacturing process (filter unknown) or carelessly leaving the slip solution container open leaving it exposed to falling or blowing contamination

I tint in southwest Florida. It’s literally like a sauna everyday. I don’t see how humidity will cause contamination, but maybe? 

I agree. Humidity will only help by keeping tiny dust particles from staying suspended

I’ve used the six inch unger for close to 40 years. Make the black blade so it hangs over the end of the channel about 3/8 inch so you don’t possibly scratch the top of some door panels. The Fusion Soft Pink Clean in a handee handle is great also if you don’t like the unger.

I agree with the Fusion soft pink clean. Once I adjusted to it it’s the one I grab throughout the cleaning process. Also lasts which has eased the sticker shock. Use it wherever it comfortable reaches

We had a customer dissatisfied with Solar Gard who came to us  to retint his BMW

 

seems ironic that you company logo looks like the old solargard logo

May be the slip solution. Could have accidentally grabbed the wrong bottle

I like the name of your company nice work as well 👍

Well 3M color stable 20 looks pretty close, anyway. Tinted it today. Easiest two fronts on the market. Thanks Tint dudes 👍  

Need advice on a color match for the Model X factory color. Two fronts to match the rears. 

Ugh...campers

 

Hello Gary, I would ask you to check out the SolarFX FXtreme2 specs below. We have a very nice Nano-Ceramic product and have a warehouse in Houston, TX. Please let me know if you would like to speak with one of our reps.

Where are the IR Specs

One advantage to living in the north... all those POS cars have rusted away long ago..

Ditto for the Tiguan stationary rear door glass.. Don't use a blade near the black edging - white scotch pad only! Can not be touched up or repaired.

Top of Door panel will not take heat under your heatgun. Looks like a vinyl skin over the top half of the door panel and it will melt under your heatgun. 2011 Nissan Rogue

Thats good to know i get quite a few of those to do just the front doors on. But i gotta ask why did you need heat on those doors i don't think i've ever had to heat one out? Have they changed the door glass on the 2011?

Cold temp are giving us alittle trouble with dryout. Had the heat lamp on the glass for about 15 minutes. As the car was leaving the garage I noticed the finger and gave it a quick hit with the gun. Guess it didnt like being called a POS. Oh well one door panel in 25 years.

Never seen a door panel made this way. Top half of door is literally a veeeerrry thin vinyl skin. "Live and learn". 30 years means nothing in this business. Everyday is the first day.
