Scratches on window tint

[Pitt]

Feedback to PML that my front 2 windows tint has scratches on them after some time. Was told that if I used 3M or V Kool tint there will be no scratches. Does not really make sense to me.

Wondering if anyone has the same problem and how it was rectified pls?

hi pitt.

its a common issue on E90's, the rubber strips at the base of the window frame a rather tight. as a result, any dust or debris trapped between window and rubber strip is likely to cause scratches vkool or not.

i have replaced my tints once already. scratches came back after a few windings of the window. only thing is to open door and not window when you need to reach out

Muahahaha.... That's a good one.. Happened to mine too, full of scratches now.

At least try not to wind down if possible, even at some stupid ERP type parking - where you still need to manually insert your cashcard (that's what I HATE the most :furious.

E scratches are very common for us. If u'r like me who change the side window flims at least once every year. Gd thing is that there are some cheap but good tinting flims ard.

Re: Scratches on window tint

Hey bros, need some advice on my front window.

During the F1 period, as i work in the Suntec area, we were given LTA decals to drive into the car park.

This decal was quite sticky (i think to prevent ppl from transferring it car to car) and during removal of it, some part of the tinting came off. And i noticed that this tinting was so thin in thickness, a light scratch would remove part of it. Now the car has a visible rectangle shape with a different shade.

What should i do? I have called up the salesman and he is checking for me the brand. It was a free thrown in by the sales person and i wonder PML will honor any warranty.

Only collected the car in May this year.

Thanks for your help guys!
