No water problems, what I wanted to hear thanks
Does the top of the panel pop back easily to pull the seals? Thanks
-
Hate to be that guy but curious if there are any issues. Have one to do, looks like a smaller Accord. Not worried about tinting it, looks easy enough, just if there is the same blind spot warning water problem
Thanks

Just did one, not too bad. I don’t pull panels so front of front doors moulding is deep, but surprisingly loose so not so bad.
One weird thing is the top rear gasket at the top is rounded and big so be careful not to cut it when you cut the tint outside to measure, will make sense when you see it.
Rear hatch trim comes apart in similar way as previous generations I pull side trim. Of note there are wires attached to the rear glass for Antenaes that would be easy to rip off if you smack them with a squeegee. I attached pics.

For the rear quarters there is room to tuck at the bottom so I line up the straight vertical with the exact edge of tint, the top angle I cut as exact as I can, the bottom angle I leave long and cut on the inside.
Trick for the rear brake light is unclip the headliner, 1 clip on each side beside brake light, the unclip the brake light by pulling down and you can reach inside to squeeze the black tabs together with your fingers to remove

Been lurking here a long time but have never posted....
Just did the new Polestar 2. Very easy car. I don’t pull panels, the bottom trim is not tight, sides have lots of room but are a but deep. No quarter windows which is always a bonus.
Back window brake light is not covered, lots of room, has little curve and is a hatchback.
Weird part was waking up the car to make the power windows work. Like a Tesla no start button, you just need the key fob in the car, sit on the drivers seat and it powers up. But when you get out after a few seconds it shuts down. After some experimenting I found if you open the door, sit down and then while the door is open latch the drivers door so it thinks it is shut. Then push the brake and shift it in and out of drive and hit park. With the door left latched it keeps the car awake and I was able to tint all the windows. I also latched all the other doors shut while open.

I have over 10 years of tinting experince and worked for one of the major manufacturers doing training for Auto and flat glass/security. I am often in the UK and would be interested in offering training while I am there. Contact me at goodtohave@hotmail.com

Your factory alarm turns off with the door locks, so they must be hooked up to work properly. The autostart has a feature called "securelock" which unlocks the car and turns off the alarm before starting and then relocks after starting. If your door locks are not hooked up this is your problem.

Because "Free Trade" is ...Canadians can't work in the US and Americans can't work in Canada unless you can prove no one in the country can do it but you or it is one of the trades the US needs (doctors, nurses...not Lawyers, you have enough of them!)

Just did one.
Super easy, I don’t pull panels front mouldings are easy to tuck.
Rear doors swing open and have fixed windows. Rear 1/4’s dot matrix windows. Rear is a hatch easy access.
