TECH: Dealing with Window Tint Scratching...
#101
RE: TECH: Dealing with Window Tint Scratching...
All - The pics and info have been gerat. I purchased the moleskin today and should get it before tinting next week (friday). I havethree questions though.
1) How long did it take to install the moleskin
2) Were there any of those plastic tree looking things holding the door in (and if so did you use the tool to keep them from breaking)?
3) After you reinstalled the doors did you notice any difference in fit and finish (the door, not the moleskin).
Since I've only had the car about a week, I'm a little nervous about pulling her apart...she'll thank me later

Any tint shop that doesnt know about Ford rubber holding dirt and scratching the tint is a suck shop. My guy told me right off the bat he had to put moleskin molding on.

I've been having this same problem. I just spoke to the ford dealership where i bought the car and they said $60 to have felt installed and $70 to retint the 2 windows. If i'd had the windows tinted there, they'd have put the felt on right away.

I am selling high temperature Moleskin kits for the New Mustangs. I am the lead installer at Florida's oldest tint shop and this is tried and true. Holds up to the Florida heat with no problems at all. Very high end, and as good as any of the best Moleskin being sold out there. You will get (2) 40" x 1" pieces of Moleskin shipped Priority mail for only $25 and I accept Paypal or Money Order. I have a very high Ebay positive feedback score and will offer you very good service with a high end product. Contact me at jaketuckey@yahoo.com for more info.
Thanks,
Jake

Yea raubt that will work too!! Anyway, mygt500, I was born and raised in Coldwater, MI. and just moved to Florida a year ago. I owned Tuckey Motorsports in Coldwater for almost 10 years. I sold out to my brother to move south. My Ebay ID is bdmridgeback also. So check me out, I am golden. I have them listed and have sold a few sets on Ebay anyway. You can buy it through Ebay or me directly to save the time. If you buy through Ebay just pay through Paypal and I'll ship out the next morning. I would never screw a person, but raubt is watching out for everyone!! Thanks!

Also... FWIW, the owner told me he had a couple other Mustang owners come in and they received letters from Ford apologizing for the problem. Not sure what FOMOCO did for them, but I figured I'd throw it out there.
Supposedly these customers went through Phil Long Ford in Denver/Lakewood, CO.
Courtesy Ford in Littleton, CO acted like I was goofy when I called them about it. FOMOCO should AT LEAST have to reimburse us all for these felt/moleskin kits we're having installed! Not to mention the poor folks that have to pay for the re-tint as well!
Did I just read that FOMOCO was ranked LAST in customer sat?

BTW - I just ordered the moleskin and am going to go back to my tint installer praying they will replace under tint warranty.
