Window Tint in Philly suburbs

rpinola · 09-16-2015, 07:41 PM

Looking to get my windows tinted on my 335 e90. I live in the Philly suburbs near the mainline/west chester area. Any suggestions on a window tinting place that does a good job for a reasonable price would be great.
Thanks

make sure you get tint ptotector http://www.tintprotector.com/
otherwise you will see scratches in tint after few rolls

Or just get high quality tint with life time warranty.

That's what I would do

Shades of Grey in Feasterville-Trevose, PA.

I recommend you trim the inner window seal versus getting felt protectors.

Felt protectors add more pressure against the glass and make the regulator work harder. It also can still trap dirt and debris between the glass and seal, causing the debris to drag. Whereas trimming the inside seal, there will be no pressure against the glass and no chance for debris to get wedged between the glass and seal.

If you're worried about leaks, don't be. You are not trimming the outside seal that is exposed to the weather. You are trimming the interior seal that is protected inside the cabin.

Thanks for the advice.
