I'm going to get my windows tinted some time this summer, but I was wondering, would there be any point to putting MoleSkin on the interior weather strips before I get the tint done?

Even on un-tinted, normal glass, the little dust particles and everything that build up can still scratch the glass just like they can scratch the tint, right? So is there any sense on putting MoleSkin on a window you haven't tinted yet? If I leave the weather strips how they are, and there are any little scratches on the glass itself, will that show up when the tint is put on, or will the tint just cover over any existing scratches and you won't be able to tell?

And is there any disadvantage to having MoleSkin on the interior strips? Will taking away the super-tight seal between the strip and the window cause any problems in terms of moisture getting in there or anything, or is it just something Ford didn't bother doing to save money?

my tint shopput it on mine other wise they said they cant tint the windows, because they had to many come back with scratches on them.

Exactly the same with mine. They also insisted that they wouldn't do it without putting on the moleskin.

Doesn't answer raubt's question, though...

I placed the felt my self. I do have tinted window, but I think that placing the felt even w/o tinted window is a good idea. The scratching will also scratch the window...so why not protect it.

Do tinters have to pop the door panel to tint the sides... ?? Ifto panelsare not scratching the glass from the factory the they must not be reattaching it properly..

Anyways I was thinking if it ain't broke ...

I actually don't know how the tint folks deal install the tint.But a few months back, some of the folks here stated that their windows were gettingscratched. Unfortunately, by the time I came around to read those posts was too late for me. I've had my Stang for less than 1 month when I noticed the scratches on the driver side window. I bought my Stang in July and as you can imagine I was top down many times. When I became aware of the issue...I took a close look at my tint and sure enough..acouple of two inch longscratches. I wished at the time I had known about the moleskisn(I actually used felt)and place it before the tint. Even if the tint folks have to remove the panel, the moleskin would have still be attached to it...just my 2 cents.

Could you post a picture so I can see how you placed the Moleskin? BTW Moleskins are great for shoes too!

I'm installing moleskin this weekend. My tint store is gonna re-do the scratchedwindows for free. If anyone else has put in the moleskin, did you trim the strip to make it narrower? You would think that for the price they could have cut it themselves to the optimumwidth and had a little better instructions on placement. I just dont want the window snagging an edge and pulling it off.
