Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'd like to get my 2002's windows tinted. I know that the tint shop usually request that you dont open the windows for a few days. But on the 2002, and I'm sure just about every other year, when you open and close the doors, the windows move up and down a little.
Does anyone think this will be an issue? If so, is there a way to defeat this feature for a few days?
Thanks!
Had mine done and tinted to the top and was told that with the new glues on the tint (ceramic lined) it will not be a problem and he was correct.
So don't worry about it unless you are getting a cheap tint job
I had mine tinted also, and never had any problem with the windows little up/down feature. The tint has been on for over a year...no problems as long as you take it to the folks who do it professionally. I paid about $185 for five windows...the two fronts are dicey....you have to stay within CA percentage standards for tint. Even though mine are supposedly within limits...I did have one motorcop stop me when he thought my seat belt wasnt' fastened tell me that "your windows are tinted buit I'm going to let it go this time".
Just had mine done and they were fine. They tell you to try and reduce the amount of times you open and shut the doors during the first 3 days or so and also to leave the car in the sun for the tint to cure.
I was told by my tint guy that it depends on the material and manufacture used.
I just got of the phone with my good friend who actually runs a window tinting place who did mine. A lot of information to know but I will put down some bulletin points.
Metalized lined - radios etc. will be interfered with as it has titanium oxides in it.
Ceramic lined - made with polyster for better clarity and has more UV inhebiters.
Carbon lined - heat rejection not as good, latest on the market.
The cost for each one goes up Metalized > Ceramic > Carbon
The Pinnacle Series is the stuff I used and Ceramic lined. It is specifically designed for automotive use, not home use. For 5 windows = $399 but shyte is good and looks good. Also the installer counts towards the end result on how they lay it down.
PM me if you want more info
15% rear
35% sides
- visible light and transmission
(I won't go into the laws within states requirements, lets just say you must tell the tinting person what you want and if you want it within the law or not
)
BTW - 5% is considered limo
Here's are some pics from different views. To me if you did 5% it would be too dark and it takes away the exotic look, but that's IMHO
Insofar as the law is concerned...the only windows you have to worry about are the driver/passenger fronts and the windshield. The guys who tint them have all the specs and examples for you to choose from. You can go as dark as you want on the side/rear and back...but consider night driving for the back window...
Just to note this is state specific. In SC there is a maximum tint for all windows and (I think) tint on any part of the front windshield is completely illegal.
I believe in AZ the limit is AZ on the fronts and laws are in place on the windshield. I was thinking darker because my car is white, and all of the accents are black, and my wheels to be delivered this week are black!
Dark is great and will look fantastic with White, I had limo on all 5 windows on my 89' Mustang while I had it in England, not legal, but the cops didn't mess with me since it was an american car. But at night, very bad especially since I lived in a small village and the sides of the road are close to the homes, but I sit on the left and drove on the left so I had the window open sometimes just in case. So basically think about night driving if you go really dark, it will impeed your vision. Oh I also had 50% of my windscreen done in limo, you could not see me at all unless the sun was blasting through the front dead on.
Thought I'd bring this one back to life instead of creating my own... Anyone used Tint Master City ?
Any other shops in LA worth checking out...
Also legal tint in CA for front passenger and driver windows is 70%... which doesn't sound alot... will that do anything for me in terms of reducing heat.
To the radar detector question. Since I didn't do the windshield, I can't speak to that BUT, my wife has a G35 with 35% tint (the max in SC) and her XM reciever that was mounted inside on the back windshield won't work anymore.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
