View Full Version : Problems/Rattles after window tinting??

I'm trying to get my Mini S tinted since the poor
visor design making driving during daytime difficult.

I called a tint shop on how they install tints on Minis.
They told me that they simply "jam" the tint between window
and door panels. I know that this method creates rattles on
my VW Jetta when the shop broke something in the door panel...

Has anyone tint their Mini yet? Anyone experience problems/
rattles after tint? Better yet, can anyone recommend a shop
near Los Angeles, CA area?

Thank you,

Got a rattle on the drivers door on the S. No rattle on the CVT. Both are tinted, but at different shops.

Have not tinted my car yet, but have spoken to installer that the local Mini dealer recommends. After speaking to him I can understand how there might be a clip or something in the door pulled loose. There is a wedge shoved in between the window and door panel to assure enough tint for window movement. I personally plan to remove door panels for speaker replacement and will try to coordinate tinting at that time. Thanks for the heads up on the rattle.
