Tint and Rolling Down windows?
 

just wanted to run this by you guys. so after you have had your tint on your windows for a couple months now i am wondering if the windows roll down differently with the tint film on the inside of the window? I know this may sound like a crazy question. Does the window roll down as smooth as it would if there was no tint on them?

mine does not roll down any different. tint is only mm thick so should be the same as no tint.

ya mines fine to but i was just wondering because today i was sitting in traffic and just looking at my windows and was wondering how thick the film actually is and would it effect the windows when they get rolled down.

They should be fine. The film is thin and should not interfere with anything

the only reason i ask is because it was raining in the morning here and i rolled down the windows during the day today and everything was fine then at night when everything seem to dry up i put them down after dinner and for a second i heard a couple squeeks when i rolled them down. i dont know what that could of been any ideas?

mine squeaks sometimes too at night/early morning. guess its just moisture that build ups, no biggie

just tell the little door gnomes to keep quite when they operate the windows! :D

so its normal for the squeeking sometimes when its moisture in the am or at night? its goes away after and its all fine

I'm considering tint too, but my concern was more along the lines of the tint getting scratched up the more you roll the windows up and down....let me know how well your tint is holding up after a year or two of ownership...also which tints are the most durable?

Two tint places in my area use a 3M product as their best. It has a lifetime warranty for fading, peeling , turning purple. The one place said that with the G and the frameless window you will eventually get peeling since the window gets handled more. With the lifetime guarantee, just bring it back in to have it redone. To any shop using 3M products as I understand it.

I'll probably be having it done within the next month.

My shop gave a lifetime warranty as well (they used Solar Gard products). Heck, even the warranty is transferable for the first few years! So far everything is perfect (it was put on May of 2009).

My older Bimmer had a terrible install many many years ago. It never peeled around the frameless window edges, but the tint developed impressions where the rollers supported the window. So there was a noticable straight track going up the window after about 4 years after it was put on.
