I have an appointment to get my windows tinted in 3 weeks(13%, I like them dark.). The place is very professional and we've had a lot of vehicles tinted there without any problems, and they are always willing to replace tint if it messes up. Here's my question, do any of you have your windows tinted without using moleskin/felt on the seal? Seems like everybody uses it, and I wanted to as well, but the manager assured me that they've had no problems with the tint they use and nobody has came back yet because of it, and promised that it wouldn't scratch at all.

I think it has to do with something specific to the Mustang that causes scratching. I asked my tint place to put moleskin on because of that and they did.

well, if you want to take the chance that it might scratch go ahead and do it if they promise it wont scratch but, i'd play it safe and either install moleskin yourself or ask them to do it

I completely agree with you guys, I think it's much better to be safe than sorry. But the tinting place said that they haven't had a single problem at all out of them, almost made it sound like it's the quality of the tint that matters. I'm still pretty skeptical, I'm in college and don't want to waste my money on something that's going to look like garbage in a week.

I would tell them to just do it. It doesn't hurt.

Haha, there is no question of safe but sorry, youve gotta get them skinned. Ive seen some bad scratches from those w.o. it.

Thanks everyone, seems like I need to get the moleskin. I just wish that the tinting place would put it on, but I don't think they will, considering the owner himself said with 100% certainty thattheir tintwon't scratch at all. Looks like I have myself a little project to do when I get home this weekend.

You definetly ha to get the moleskin. I've got top dollar tint on mine and I had some nasty scratches and had to get my driver's side redone because of it. If they won't put it on then go to www.tintprotector.com. They sell kits with instructions and everything. It's an easy install all you have to do is take off a couple of bolts and pull the wiper out of the track.

Just went to a local tintshop, and they wouldn't install the moleskin either. Guess I got another project to learn how to do...[:@]
