Yaris Window Tint

[RFvitz]

calling all owners of yaris/vitz who have tinted their windows.

i tinted my windows with a light tint. the rear side windows gave me trouble as bubbles just kept coming up....anyway with a bit of patience and a heat gun we got around that problem.

BUT about 4 days later loads of scratches started coming out which looks REALLY crap.

on the back windows the scratches came in a pattern which looked like the strokes of the palette i was using. could be the problem?

on the front windows however i got perfect vertical scratches which looked like they came from putting the windows up and down...

anyone have the same problem? anyone know a solution?

i WANT tint but i DONT WANT scratches...

help please!

Hi RFvitz

First of all welcome to the club mate I have got my windows tinted. Toyota did this from new. After a while i noticed a few scuff marks on the window. Thought nothink about it as my wifes motor is the same. But one day i noticed a large line running down the window.

That really :censor: me off. What i think it is dirt that has got into the window mechanism and when you wind the window up and down it make's a scratch on the film. So now i jet wash the rubber on the window. This seems to stop the dirt getting in and there for stops me picking up new scratches. I dont think that the window needs realigning as you would no this as the window wouldn't go up properly.

ok i guess that could be partially the problem. but even the scratch marks of the palette which we used while tinting left swipe marks..

could it possibly be a crappy tint film?? maybe its bad quality and scratches too easily?

or am i talkin from my *****?

Nope your probably right the stuff the professionals use is so much better, you can feel the difference just by touching it.

Go here and Steve will give you some advice.
