e92 Newly Installed Tints

Yardley · 03-11-2010, 05:37 PM

I know you're not supposed to roll down the windows for about 3 days after they are installed, so my question is what effect does the auto roll down (when the door is opened) on the e92 have on this rule. Just picked up my 2010 e92 after having the tints installed and I forgot to ask about this.

Actually mine did pose a problem. Turns out a woman in a prius decided to rear-end me on my way back from the tint shop...

The driver side door tint looks fine even up close, but if you get down low and look through it you can see where it has moved and some very superficial bubbling or texture distortion occurred. Just be careful and don't go nuts with it. I was gona let my car sit and bake in the sun for a few days, but I had to get in and out a bunch of times when it came down to getting the accident info taken care of.
