I have 32% and everythings gravy. i had to get the front pass. side redone, because there was lint in between the glass and tint, nothing major, you could hardly see it...but that ____ bothers me, lol

 

i have 20% all around..i will go to the shop and have em do it one more time...if it scratches im yelling at scion..somthing has to be wrong with the door panel

 

i just got my windows tinted 20%. Awesome color. Going to tint the fronts 35. Tint guy wouldn't do cause its illegal, but my skin gets really irritated by the sun and at night poeple's lights hurt my eyes and it takes a while to refocus on the road.

 

I get my tint & alarm Wed. I'm going w/ 20% on the front two windows & 5% on the other two/ rear.(sort of like the tint on our box)

 

I suppose anything is possible, but I highly doubt it. I guess time will tell if the same thing happens again. I am very happy the dealer covered it, because it would have been a pretty penny to replace a window.

I had to laugh at that because I'm the same way. As a matter of fact, I had the same thing happen to me on the window that was replaced so he is coming back out today to re-tint it.

 

someone help! so I got windows tinted for second time...wait....roll em down 4 days later...passenger side window has 3 vertical scratches...i go back ____ed as all hell..they tell me..go to dealer and have em look at it..maybe door is messed up..take it to service dept and they say they will take off panel for door but if they see no problems than its 160 out of my pocket for service work. call back tinters and they say to me "well thats a tough decicion for you to make huh?" I ask them to retint again they tell me NO!!!! they "dont cover scratches.....should I take to dealer to look at door and have them pay to retint or just _____ at tinters...also make squeeking noises when rolling up and down and i can see grey part below window move...WHAT DID THEY DO...they didnt even take door panels off..so they say.. HELP PLEEEAASEE!

 

bump

 

I have 35% all the way around including sunroofs. I'm happy.

 

I got a 20% and it looks great.... no need to go 5%....

 

damn homie i'm in cali and i'm riskin it wit 5% all the way. I'll see how long it takes for me to get pulled over by 50.

 

i have the same problem...

if you look down the window channel, there are TWO weather strips. the one you see when you sit in the seats, and another set BELOW that one... (you have to pry between the first strips and see into the window channel to see it) that's causing the problems. i got my tint done by some shop and the guy who did it told me that the tC was VERY hard to do because of that... he didn't mention the extra strip below the surface, all he said was that he had to roll the windows back up and to come back in two days.

so i come back in two days and he's not there, but the other tint guy does it for me. a few days later, i start hearing sqeaks and notice that the window isn't rolling up as smooth as it should. i look between the first trips to see wth is wrong and lo and behold i see the second strip all mangled. i realized then that the original guy who id the job didn't mean his SHOP had to roll the windows, but he HIMSELF since he was the only one that knew about it. i've been searching this forum on a how to to remove the door panel since i don't know if i will have time to bring it back to the guy... so can anyone help?

 

ID LET THEM DO IT...DONT FVCK UP YA CAR! IF THEY SCREW UP ITS THEIR @$$ES

 

i got 5% all around and a 35 % in teh windshiled, but the windshield came out liek crap so am thinking of doing it again...No warrenty on illegal stuff

 

I'm in FL and a local tint shop said that 24% was legal on the front doors and 16% on the side/back windows. Voiding my warranty and not getting a receipt, I went 16% all around and its looking hot

 

I used to tint windows, and I always took the door panel off to remove the entire window when I could. Some windows arent removable though, but the TC's are. Your tinters should be doing this. It allows you to get to the whole glass. Plus you're not pushing anything down into the window guides that could scratch your tints when you open 'em. That's probably where its scratching. Debris in that channel. Ive also seen where someone installed door speakers that had magnets rubbing the glass. Not always, but out of nowhere the glass would rub. It looked like it would clear the speaker when the panel was removed, but sometimes it rubbed.

 

I wouldnt assume such things..

 

Also, what kind of tint are they going to/did they use.
TTIUWP

 

i'll be getting my ____e sticky'd pretty soon as well. I'll be able to pick me boogers without people seeing me.

 

you care too much, man

 

I Had 5% tint done professionally all around in my Prelude. It is real nice during the day, and at night on bright streets it's ok, but when it's dark it is very difficult to see. I have to open my door or roll down the window to reverse. Overall, I would not recommend it (unless you involve yourself in illegal activities).

I'm going with 20% all around. Best overall choice in my opinion.
