GOT IT

Sometimes there is a double click before they go up like lm the challenger. I was pushing it Hard trying to get a second click. I’m going to try some more in the morning and we spent 20/30 minutes trying get it up. Thought it might have been because the hatch doors were open and that didn’t help either 

Mostly all the frameless windows will trick up by engaging the door latch. I even have a tool that compresses the switch that is in the door jam on some model.

I Cant get the 2009 clubman windows tricked up, I have the latches in the shut position and can’t am not seeing any buttons in the door jams.

anyone have any insight on getting these tricked in the up position. Thank you!

Yeah he’s coming in , “it only happens at night” apparently. I told him I would check the forums and call the sales rep to give him piece of mind until he can make it to the shop

I use water and baby shampoo for my tint solution, and Madico Black pearl HP

Tinted a 15’ gti this summer. Customer called maybe September / October asking how to clean the the windows real well and if he should use towels or paper towels etc.

I told him use the spray way glass cleaner and I use bounty paper towels.

Customer calls today saying he’s had nothing problems with streaks and it’s bad at night? He doesn’t want to put his window down at night because it streaks, he described it at slime but i thinks that’s dramamtic. It definitely seems to be condensation in the car. It has been months since I tinted his car any dampness inside the door panel would have dried by now .

Anyone heard of or experienced excessive streaking months after the job? Sounds like it’s the vehicle to me it does not make sense the tint would cause excess condensation. Since 2011 I have never had a call regarding streaking like this. 

Poppa Willy you pull all door panels and drape cloths on all tint jobs?!?

I’d like to think he’s not being shady, he was nice about it. Just seems strange the first one in 6 years is a Kia Sorento...

im trying to think if there is a speaker on the front pillar, I was not mindful of one. they are usually impossible to miss like the Lexus 

Customer text me today saying he thinks we messed up his speaker in his door from the water. 500+ cars a year all the same process with no electronic or speaker damage. He was in and out in an hour, no extra spray or redos on the window. Kia isn’t the most common car up this way but I can’t see anything on the forums about this being a common problem. 

Any insight on a ‘16 Kia Sorento 

Rear window looks pretty crammed in around those panels. I dont pull panels often but this one looks worth pulling. Anyone know where to start to get the panels off the rear hatch?

If the guy in that video was uncle Rico it would be him to a T!

Scheduled a customer who bought 2006 mustang and the rear window had about 100 marble sized bubbles. I 409 and trash bagged and let it sit in the sun, I've had good luck in the past removing tint with little to no glue with this method. That method didn't work with this tint so it was old fashioned steel wool and elbow greese. 45 minutes at least to get all the glue off the longest I've ever worked on glue removal . For the extra time needed he picked up his car very soon after we finished. He asked us to remove a sticker and what looked like adhesive on the front windshield as well which is common and i do often. My employee starts to remove the stickers right before they get there to pick up and they ask me if the windshield is tinted? What we thought was adhesive near the stickers on the windshield were actually scratches from someone else trying to remove stickers on the tint. It is illegal in our state as is in many states to tint the front wind shield so it was not something we were mindful of at all.

So it started from there he was pissed we scratched the front wind shield tint that he had no idea was on there either. I told him before you pay to have that removed I would see if the crack in the windshield is legal and go from there. He proceeds to check the car out inch by inch. He would not answer my call but text me his car was a mess and he spent a lot of time cleaning it. Of course the rear deck is wet but the tint came off in one piece not multiple so I'm not even sure How there could be a mess. Also rear tint replacement came out nice and clean. The only thing I can think is we didn't clean his quarter glass which probabaly got some over spray. He was complaining about a little water residue on the exterior which I always tell customer you can take your car through a car wash for additional cleaning. I am not a detailer. He also started checking all of his paint in my LED lights including his hood and and front quarter panels and we only tinted his back window. He accused us of scratching his 2006 mustang. His wife even told him there's scratches over here and he's like but these wernt there. He slammed the door and spun the tires away from the shop I didn't even give him drying instructions or anything.

proceeds to text me a message no joke as long as this thread and does the classic you got to make this right. I'm good for 1 or 2 cumstomers like this a year and they always reference making it right and "if I were the owner". He obviously didn't return my calls. I started with a fuck you text and settled on the high road. I lost sleep and woke up pissed off this morning. It told him I would love to show you the process to show There is no way we scratched your car. at the time I said you want your money back I'll send it which I have NEVER done in 6 years. He gladly said yes please and sent his address and to send asap.... If google reviews wernt around..... I'm really trying to take the high road and let the universe straighten that guy out but I really want to message him telling him where to go and how to get there!

My wife, friends, or family have no perspective on issues like this so thanks tintdude.com for being there for me!
