  1. I can be an adult behind the wheel of any car. Almost any car…. Alright so don’t give me the keys to a fox body mustang. Lamborghini/rolls or something you’re really worried about me breaking something on we’re golden. Old square 5.0 with a stick? I might steal it and make a run for it. I’m not sure if I’m serious or not either lol!
  2. Weather strip comes off the top of the back doors easily. I pulled all the panels and rear deck. Didn’t do the shield cuz hell no.
  3. Sweeps do not come off easily. Top seal on back doors do. I still pulled the panels, it was sketchy with the way they do the trim around the handles.
  4. Is it all windows that you’re perceiving it? Back window or driver window etc?
  5. Do you sit closer to the glass in this vehicle vs previous cars? 911 instead of an f-350 or something.
  6. Yes, was described to me as an IR coating. First noticed it on an (autobiography) model.
  7. If you didn’t like the look of suntek, you’ll probably be happier with the black xpel, the plus performs well but I’m not sure you’ll like the inside looking out. I wasn’t a fan. I stick F1 I’d sell you pinnacle over stratos if this was a concern. You gotta trade off some low angle haze for ir rejection in this regard.
  8. express for film, get the hp in 40x50 if needed to save a $ stick to trucks for a while. Learn on cheap old cars watch videos, @flat rock stan has dvd’s for a price. What we do, especially auto can be hard to pickup, and you expose yourself to damaging a customer’s vehicle in new and creative ways. Be careful, research before you take on a job. Good luck.
  9. Vette came in for back window only, no problem. Tahoe kicked my ass? Those quarters are massive, and the hair floating inside was a battle!
  10. 12 volt guy saved me the hassle with the door panels as he was was already in there. Agreed @highplains my favorite over the 300zx&Supra . Motors weird just Ls swap it if it gets to be too much hassle.
  11. A first for me, as usual strip and retint. Easy car. Pinnacle 30/15
  12. Are the front 2 laminated? Can we see this with the windows part way down?
  13. That’s a can of worms I wish I could help with but beyond rubbing the dots towards the edge with your thumb now that it’s dry is all I got. Sometimes it works. I feel like it really depends on prep. You could maybe steam it back a bit with the right film and work it but I wouldn’t try unless I knew how their adhesive worked.
  14. If you remember I did I a 5 series a few years back that had privacy on only the back driver or passenger roll up. Not the qtr or back or any other window. New from the dealer. The Wehrmacht’s quality control was lacking that day .
  15. Did beemers for a very long time for the local dealer. Discounted, rushed, nit picked. Perfection is a myth, even with time. And if you do a good job on a beemer that’s all that comes to you….. and it gets very old.
  16. What’s the difference between a bmw and a porcupine? With a beemer the pricks are on the inside!
  17. Is it just hanging? Rub your thumb over it?
  18. I’m perfect, never stuck a spec of dust in a window in my life . If that were true, I still wouldn’t touch your car with a 10ft pole. Too many red flags already, and .
  19. I’d latch the door with it open and make sure the windows don’t just come up and force that opening, bmw exterior rubber can deteriorate very rapidly. Especially in a hot climate. Did the local dealers work for 12-13 years before they went in house. I’ve seen it all. The nick under the qtr window is very unlikely to have been caused by an installer. It’s in a very odd place.
  20. I feel like this is a German car. Porsche and Mercedes won’t use felt. It works great and doesn’t create these issues. Don’t tell that to Hans or Franz someone will be shot in the courtyard at dawn. Probably needs felt added to the window sweeps. They scratch their own glass before tint often. Audi has this disease too.
  21. Is this dog hair? If your car is covered in it, it will not help the installer.
