Hello all i am getting the GSF tinted and i was told by the tint shop they have to remove the door panels to tint it correctly, so the tint does not peel from the bottom... is this true?

A few question for you.

You was there when the tint guy was installing the tint on your car? I do not believe it. LOL

Do you pay more $$$ after the shop installing the tint?

Because a good tint shop never do that. The shop seeing your car and see that you have money. LOL

You can also, call another local tint shop or stop in that other tint shop and ask the same question. If that shop need to take out the door panel in that particular car or not?

But again, in all the car that I have before and now the tint shop never need to take the door panel out. IMHO

I've had many cars and trucks tinted and never have they removed the door panel. Not sure why they would. Their squeegee pushes the tint below the inner door trim.

No, go to another tint shop.

I had many of my cars tinted including a recent GS-F sport and none of them ever had the door panel removed for the job.
Go to another tint shop.

I had the door panels removed. I watched the install.

Huper Optik Ceramic.

No issues with vibration, or broken clips.

I would never let anyone take the panel off unless there's a absolute necessity only to find scratches and screw driver marks everywhere

I would just for go the tint, if you don't want something messed up.

I too had the door panels removed. I watched the install also. One of the installers was an ex-Lexus 10 year Certified Collision Center interior employee. Hüper Optik Ceramic here too. Perfect!

Plano TX very interesting how much did they charge for the tint, do they put clear bra also on the cars.

bclexus

I thought you said you'd never let anyone take the panels off...

I honestly don't remember how much they charged, but they are competitive.

Give NTX Clear Bra a call about installing a clear bra.

U missed the "Unless there's a absolute necessity part" if they know what they are doing. Thanks for the info.

bclexus

They 'want' to take the panels off because they can do a perfect install job. Since they know what they're doing, taking the panels off is desirable...not undesirable. The three guys that did mine worked like precision surgeons...and you could tell they wouldn't accept anything less than perfection in their work.

You're welcome!

Btw which tint did u get in your car and is it worth to get the ceramic tint done.

Ceramic, that's the one that blocks out most heat and UV, right?

I may upgrade as I have a black interior and I park outside a lot (No indoor lot at work)
