I've heard rumors that you can not tint a 05 TL because the sills will damage the tint when the windows are operated. True or false?

FALSE!

i know this a little late to reply but the only way that will happen is if who ever puts the tint on doesnt know what the hell they are doing.

technically any car's sill will damage the tint if its not installed correctly.

The Reason it damages the tint is ifthe person installing tint bends the sill down all else ok.

Patrick Jun 14, 2005 01:22 PM



or if they dont trim down far enough...and it catches the edge of the sill...

i work for acura and that is false i constantly see 05 TLs with dark ass tent on the window!!!!

And of course the tinter installer is the one who creates the problems...[img]smileys/smiley8.gif[/img]

I own a tint shop in orlando, florida.The problem with the TLs are that they have a different sill or seal. They are lacking the traditional moleskin "fuzzy" strip that every other model has. What happens if you tint the car without applying a aftermarket high temperature moleskin, it will get vertical scratches on it when you roll your windows up and down.





you should be more concerned if you have a navigational system and you install a metalized conductive film on the windows, it can affect your system negatively./


Peace
