Can any one guide me on how to remove driver and passenger front door interior panels, so I can tint the windows.

The tinter says thats the only way to do it right because the area of the door panel above the seat memory switchs is so high above the weather strip. Do you know of another way? Did you have yours done? Thanks Jimmy

yes, that area is hard to get to, and a lot of shops will do it right by popping the door panel to install it. i have no idea how to take apart the door panel on the lx570 though

Sorry did not think about that, I can see that area would be difficult.

As far as me getting it done, I had my LS460 done and will never get tinted windows again. I went to the best place I could find and they used the best and most expensive tint material known and the guy did a great job. BUT I disliked the distortion looking through it. I was sorry I did it the day it was done.

I will be happy with the factory privacy glass on my 2010 LX.

So you are saying that you see zero distortion when inside the vehicle and looking out, especially at night? Sorry but I have seen the same thing in EVERY vehicle I have been in that someone had the windows tinted. The plastic tint just is not as clear as factory privacy glass or clear glass.

Maybe it is only me but I do not think so.
