Front windows tinting dilemma

I am still debating whether to tint my new a spec two front windows, which I really like, the problem here is that the tinter always remove the door panels to install them, my problem is when they tint my '13 RDX, after removal the door panels, seems like the door panels doesn't have the tightness from the factory, therefore causing vibration when listening to the music, what do you guys think, is it possible for them to tint withour removing the the door panels?.

This is only my opinion since I am not a professional window tint specialist, I think the film is cut to fit without removing any door panels.

they should not be removing door panels to add tint.

I agree with you all, they told me that by removing the door panels, it's easier for them to adjust how much it needed inside the door, so that when the windows goes up and down won't easily peel the off the film.

If you go to a reputable tint shop they will not need to remove the door panels. I suggest you find another shop

I have literally never heard of removing the panels to tint the windows in my entire life.

A professional tint shop will measure on the outside door with the film prior to installing the tint on the inside door. Run do not walk form that tint shop and find someone who knows how to tint professionally. Be sure to use minimum ceramic tint. I payed $100 for the two front windows as that is average for ceramic in my neck of the woods.

Don't drive your extra tint vehicle in Massachusetts ( & a few other states ). You will get a ticket. Florida cars get stopped all the time.
