Window scratching after new tint job.

jkutzsch · 11-04-2009, 04:17 PM

So got a nice new tint job a few weeks back, looks great and because of a cold front that moved in my windows stayed up. Now though it has warmed up and I have wanted to go through drivethru's for food so I have lowered my windows on 3 of the 4 windows and all 3 of them are getting scratches on the outside of the window. Not the inside where the tint is, the outside glass part. The 4th windows that has not been lowered remains scratch free...

Any suggestions of something that can be done to stop this and repair the existing scratches?

Look carefully at your weather stripping. The tint shop may have removed the weather stripping or trim to tint the windows. If it wasn't reinstalled correctly, scratches can occur.
