Windows tinting newb question
Hi guys. Does tinting require disassemble the door? I'm planning to get my IS350 tinted, but I'm worry the doors and power windows won't work properly afterward.

If you go to a good tint shop they will remove your door panels, and that's what you want for a professional tint job. The guy I used has been doing it for 15 years and also does power window / door lock conversions, he's probably pulled more door panels than any dealership has.

is tinting windows properly now a difficult thing? Must be an east coast issue because here in LA there's a tint shop on every corner and I haven't heard of anyone getting a poor tint job in years upon years upon years. It really ain't that hard....

I dont understand why there are so many shops taking off the door panels for the install. I watched the guys do my 250 and they seemed to do it without any problem. Whats goin on?
