Cali tint in dublin does extremely high quality tint jobs. And yes they removed my door panels to get the seams perfect. You have to in order to get it on the whole entire window. If you want to see my car to check out the quality its in Union City most days at my restaurant in Union Landing.

Union Landing?? Hey I spend a lot of time there! I spend a week in Cali and the other 3 in the PNW.

I remember when I was a kid and that place was all grass -- and the drive in theater.

You ABSOLUTELY DO NOT have to remove the door panel to apply window tint.

How do you tint the entire window with the door panel on?
