Have you done the mole skin (felt) inside the doors? Apparently that will fix it.

Has anyone ever heard of Silhouette Window Film? It's supposedly scratch resistant. Would this prevent scratches from occuring on the TSX? Thanks.

I had my tints for a little over a month and a halfand rolled down the windows many times.

The scratches are not as bad as people described. I would take pictures, but the scratches are hardly visible.

It's either their quality of tint is worse than mine or people use heavy exagerrations.

Or maybe it happens after 6 months.

Before I had the moleskin added, I got many scratches on the tint and even a few perforations of the tint film. It was very bad, in less than 1yr I had 20+ holes in the tint. Fortunately my tint guy replace the tint and installed the moleskin pads for free.
