E90 Tint Scratch **stay Away From Moleskin**

I made the mistake of buying the moleskin tint scratch fix-kit, don't remember what site but it was the one recommended by everyone, it was about $30 and IT SUCKS. DO NOT BUY, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

I followed the directions TO THE TEE, and I am VERY mechanically proficient, I also had the help of my neighbor who is a certified BMW tech.

the glue they use is absolute S***, I sanded the pieces lightly, primed with alcohol, applied the felt to the trim and let it sit overnight. Installed the next day, the second I rolled the windows up, the felt rolled up, the acrylic glue got stuck to my brand new tint, and it looked like my car got bukkaked by 15 black men.

I am going to clean it up, take it to BMW with the 48129 pages stating that this is a KNOWN PROBLEM for E90's, and make them felt it under warranty. Or I am cutting the entire piece out, like I should have done in the first place.

DO NOT BUY MOLESKIN. YOU PEOPLE THAT MADE IT SUCK, YOU CHARGE $30 FOR A SINGLE ROLL OF FELT.
