Window Tinting 2004 tl

....So I understand there is an issue with tinting 3g tl's. I have read that felt is needed...I have also heard that blowing canned air in the molding works to remove the debris. Any personal experiences???

Got my brand new (used) 2004 NBP TL tinted a couple of weeks ago and then ran into the issue of the minor scratches on the inside of the windows... on all my windows!

I ordered the really cheap moleskin lining (link can be found on here somewhere or just google it) and I'm waiting for it to arrive so I can go in and get them re-tinted.

Just a pain, I say wait for the moleskin to arrive before you go tinting your windows.

I can say the same for mine and it's really bad. I tried to clean the stock felt with a screwdriver wrapped with a shop rag and it came out really dirty. I can understand why it scratches. I definitely need to get my tint redone.

Just had my 3G tinted last week, still haven't rolled down the windows yet. I guess I will find out. If it does scratch and they are as light as I have been hearing, its something Im just going to deal with...
