I took my Phaeton to my car detailer and asked him to tint the windows. He told me that it could not be done unless he removes the door panels and door frame to better acces the edges of the side windows. Do any of you had their windows tinted and how was it done?
View 9 RepliesIs it ok to tint the windows? what type of tint is the best?
Also, is there a way to check to see if there are any recalls?
The former owner of my 04 phaeton had the rear window tinted and I wish to remove it because it impairs the rearview mirror's ability to dim the outside mirrors. Will the removal harm the rear defroster grid?
View 8 RepliesI have an intermittent problem on my 2007 3.0 whereby the windows sometimes steam up seriously and I have to switch on the heated rear window and the demist function for the front screen. This clears most of it but not all. The local dealer has checked the car today and can find nothing wrong, they checked for fault codes and also checked the A/C and heating units and all is well.
View 3 RepliesWhen I put the driver windows up it reached the very top I heard the sound of plastic snapping and heard several pieces landing inside the bottom of the door. The window seems secure but I am too nervous to see if it will lower for fear it won't go back up.
I looked for some drawings and think a guide may have failed. I plan to remove the door panel and investigate but the pictures from the FAQ section are no longer hosted so looking for a link to a good write-up?
Having issues with the power windows making a funny noise when you roll it down and up? It is happening to the right front and right rear windows. Sounds like something is broken inside. Both windows do go up and down perfect , just thinking its on its last legs and worried one day it wont go back up. The problem is not like a motor burning out, more like something is crackling inside. What is weird both windows have the same noise.

View 2 RepliesI just had my windshield replaced due to a large rock cracking my old windshield a few weeks back. The new windshield does not have a fade up on the top, its just the same top to bottom. I was looking into just having the first 6 inches or so have tint put on. I think its called a banner tint when people do this. Does this look tacky? or is it okay. I have 35% tint all around.
View 3 RepliesI recently bought some lamin-x tint for my headlights and fogs. I have only seen a few ppl on here tint their lights, but it was only the the tailights i have seen done on here. So I have an optic blue for the headlights and med gunsmoke for the fogs. Just came in yesterday so I will try to get them on within a week. I will post some pics to show how it looks.

View 11 RepliesRight now I'm planning to get 35% tint on my front side windows (legal limit in Nevada) and 15% on the rear side and back windows, although I may end up going lighter on the sides and back.
In any case I'm wondering whether or not I should have the lower back (strip) window tinted since, as mentioned on another thread, it has already been tinted by the factory. Also, it is the perfect height for my Corgi puppies to view the world and I don't want to obstruct their view. I'm also concerned about what some people have said about being able to see at night.
The front windows have no tint so I'm trying to match it with the rear's and what kind of tint film is being used?
View 8 RepliesI tinted my Prius v's rear hatch window with SunTek CXP film yesterday morning. When driving at night with the tinted window, there are streaks of glare along rear defogger lines caused by the headlights behind me.
For v owner with tinted hatch window.
The strangest thing has happened to my 450h tailgate, there are two patches of yellow that are popping up. These were not there when I bought it back in June (it is not under warranty/purchased from a small local dealer). Last week I started to notice a faint yellow tint in those spots, but it's like it's getting worse over time.
View 3 RepliesI have an issue with my rear view. It seems like the tint is fading out in certain parts of it, its like the nighttime sensor is broken or something . I took it to the dealership to get a quote and they it would cost about $500 for a new rear view mirror. I was curios if there is a cheaper way to fix or if i could fix it myself.
View 1 RepliesThe car is 3 months old, and I looked over the other day to see a bluish tint on the edge closest to the door of the front passenger seat. When I bought the car the finance lady warned me that blue jeans could leach into the seats but I thought she was just trying to scare me into buying a coating for the seats, which I didn't buy. I haven't tried to clean it yet.
View 6 RepliesSo yesterday i got my windshield tinted at a shop and now im having issues. My ac stays on when the key is out of the ignition i can use all settings from low to high. My windshield wipers only work in neutral and park. Im calling them when they open but i think the water they spray on the tint got down in the dash and fried something.
View 6 RepliesMy truck has factory tint on all 4 corners as well as the rear window. I do quite a bit of night driving and I'd like to remove the tint on the drivers window as well as the passenger window. Is this even possible? I fear the glass was 'smoked' when manufactured and going back to completely clear glass will require a totally new window.
View 10 RepliesHave problems getting window tinted? Just got my RC 350 and i took it to one of the most referred places in town for tints. (small town)
Anyways, they are having trouble with the drivers side window bc that little autoroll down feature when you open the door keeps on messing up the bottom edge of the tint. I've already taken it back to the shop for them to fix it and now I have to take it back on Monday to get it fixed again.
Any way to disable this auto roll down feature on the rc 350?
I have a 1974 Mercedes 280 C. Two of the power windows no longer work...the driver rear (stuck down) and the passenger front (stuck up). The problem started with middle console switches...the right bank (passenger controls) the small chrome surrounding piece popped off and caused the switches to get stuck then fall apart. I was trying to put them back together and got a spark...ooops car was on and i was using metal tweezers...then the rear driver side no longer worked??? others work. Do the switches need to be replaced or is it a bigger electrical problem. Checked fuses...all fine.
