Really?? You gotta run him down because he doesn't do it your way?? SERIOUSLY??
 
 

 Me included! I've been tinting for over 34 years!

Well Metro Films yes, that's just the way things worked out for me. I was taught to tint long long time ago (over 16+ years ago).  I was never taught to take cars apart like the other stereo and alarm guys I worked with and since leaving my first shop I always worked alone with nobody to show me the way. Taking cars apart to me was a little intimidating because the few times that I tried, I always broke something (clips, etc.) or bent something. And some things never went back quite the same. So I gave up on it for the most part. Now a days we have more stuff on the internet (youtube, tintdude, etc,) to help me out so I have been slowly learning to take off more panels, rear decks, brake lights, etc. without breaking them. So thats kind of a low blow to say I'm not a tinter (I have thousands of cars under my belt). Maybe I'm just a tinter that's not really good at taking panels off haha. And I'm not alone, I hear many other tinters on here say they never pull panels. Unfortunately I do have to turn down 1% of my jobs because my lack of skill in this area, but I have to say that I do run a successful tinting business. Have a great day...

Be ready to pull a spoiler if you can't plot back window, doors are easy w sweeps removed, comes apart like a Bmw 1 t20 on back edge of door panel behind a very noticeable cover. Sweeps almost fall out

You can pull the rear sweep right out, the front can be pulled either way, if you want to pull the top back and risk what I've mentioned in the previous posts, it works just be careful this is the only BMW I've seen w aluminum clips ( very small ) that hold the sweep in they're in the sweep, you can pull the trim like a 5 series and the tweeter comes out easy, harder to get back in pay attention to the edge nearest the window on reinstall.... Not really a hard car anymore, just read my previous posts...

Pullin seals on this car is cuttin my fingertips up aluminum clips sharp they're in the seal for retention and they get in the way (twist) when pulling, making reinstall tedious, just be observant maybe wear gloves when pulling will update once I've got it streamlined, otherwise a change for the good, much easier, watch out w back glass 50/50 so far laminated/ tempered. If you can feel dot on edges it's tempered. Same w roll ups they vary tempered/ laminated, much more than previous model

Or when in doubt check forum, new guy givin props to the dude....I just checked in.. To see what condition my condition was in....

Start to open the hard top and kill power when glass is up wait a couple minutes and top will go back down, before that happens I put a small cardboard box under it, bigger than a shoebox, just something to hold it that won't scratch paint, easy money after that just cut bottom dead on, use this step after cut/shrink.
