since 1 week after getting my windows tinted, i have gotten white scratches on the inside of the window. this has increased dramatically over the last month......

i was curious to see if any other members have had this problem. i live on a dirt road, and i blast my window sills out at the carwash 4 times a week to avoid this. i have no doubts that the Eclipse dealer will re-tint my windows under warranty, but i want to see if anyone has found a fix.

if there is no beneficial repsonse to the previous info, i will take my car to the dealer and give em hell until they find a fix. im very dissappointed

 

Did you make sure not to roll your windows down for about a week?

 

Dude that sucks. The place i got my windows tinted gave me a 5 year warranty and said that if i wanst happy within anything just wait a month and bring it in. (think that was more for bubbles though) but i know they are warrantied for 5 years from anything. So you might want to give them a call to see if they cover anything. Hopefully they should take care of that for you.

 

i think there is an exposed screw or something on the inner part of the door, both of my windows have small holes in the exact same place on each window

 

dont put your windows down when you're on the dirt road, see if it helps

 

Yeah.. If pebbles got in there and you put it up, it could cause scratches.

 

mine does it too, by the door lock stick that u pull up on if u had to unlock manually and theres a couple other lines on it too from inside the door

 

i didnt roll down my windows for just 24 hours.... and its just fine....

 

3 days

... it was fine...
and no, i do not have my windows rolled down on a dirt road.
obviously, small pebbles and dirt are causing the scratches, but i blast my window sills more than the average person. its a bit ridiculous. im starting to think there is a flaw in the felt that is in the door. i have a tint job on the STi and there are no scratches.

edit: mine is in the same spot on both windows..... no scratches anywhere else.... :S

 

I have scrathes on the pass. side right in the middle. I have had the tint redone 3 times. Guess it is rubbing on something. I am to lazy to take the door apart and look thou

 

hmm use your warrenty mine has lifetime and why 5days to roll down windows mine was 24 hours and they actually rolled them down when i eft and re reoled them up no bubbles no thing

 

im taking it to the dealer and telling them to deal with it.

i have a lifetime warranty on my Eclipse tint... but that is beside the point if the prob keeps happening

 

I rolled mine down by accident on my other car and it started to peel. I got it redone and it's fine now.. Probably something to do w/ the inside of our car doors. Who knos...

 

recommended time is 24 hours

 

the place I went to told me 2 weeks
I think I'm going to play it safe

 

Good idea. 2 weeks sounds like a lot though. I'd got 1 week.

 

I've got one faint scratch on my driver's side window. I've got a lifetime warranty on the tint... so I'll get it redone later...

Oh... and the instructions with the tint say only 3 days are necessary... but I waited a week just to be sure.

 

resurrecting an old thread....i have really bad vertical scratches on my windows right about where the door lock dick is on both sides...does anyone elso have this problem...my tint has a lifetime warranty but i want to know what is causing the scratches
