New window tint

[MCourson]

Well my mom got her windows tinted in her Tahoe this morning. Then, only 2 hours later she took it to the dealer to have the oil changed and front end aligned. She told them not to roll down the windows because of the new tint. Well we go to pick the truck up and the guy drove it up front with both windows down and his greezy arm all over the leather on the door pannel. I got the nastiness off the door panel but is the tint hurt?

did the tint shop put anything on the window switches? I know when i had mine done they put tape (large masking tape) covering the switched and wrote DO NOT ROLL DOWN!!!

Back when I had my Ford I rolled mine down and it left a little streek mark in the window..........

 

It can cause it to scratch depending on how tight the seal is between the window and the door...

 

Roll it up and check it out

just check for scratches if there are any take it to the dealer. Find the guy that did it and take him to the owner of the dealership and demand that they pay for the new tint.

That has been my experience, also. The tint company would attach a warning to the door announcing the tint.

They didnt put anything over the buttons unfortunatly. The passenger side seems fine. The drivers side has a bunch of bubbles in it, but I seem to remember last time I had windows tinted they said bubbles were normal and the would come out, but I can't really remember though. Worst case is the drivers side will get retinted.

I just locked my windows from the driver side so none of my dumb friends would put them down. and as I learned it's very hard to go through toll booths with new tint. anyway i don't think it will hurt the tint to much, maybe just a bubble or 2

Everytime I've had it done they have NOT put anything over the switches, but I always do so I won't forget and neither will my friends. I would take it to the tint company and have them look at it and if they say it is screwed up then take it to the dealer and make them pay to get it fixed.

...maybe just a bubble or 2

Or in my case about 50. Its going to the tint place in the morning

Man that sux! I just had my front windows tinted and they didn't put anything over the switches so I put some tape over them as a reminder not to roll them down.

 

Make sure you talk to the dealer and let him know he can pay for it!

If the tint is redone tomorrow, we will be with hours of the 3 day limit when we start hitting tolls on the South Florida turnpike.

It has begun.

It seems all the shops always want to roll the windows down even though 90% of the time they end up just opening the door to drop paperwork inside or whatnot. It always pushes my buttons too...and I don't even have tint. I just don't like the windows down right away if I just cleaned them.

[SinisterSS]

Just had my windows tinted a week ago and decided to pull the two circuit breakers for the power windows just so I wouldn't accidently roll them down myself! One of these days I'll put the breakers back in the fuse box, lol.

the worst case scenario would be me actually breaking my foot off in the mechanic's ass and have to walk around on a nub
