Along with the moleskin, (my passenger tint got scratched the first time I lowered the window!) get tint legal for your state. I've read a few ticket issues on the forum over tint. I would also make sure they can do the rear in one piece. Mine is one piece, but my old car was 2 on the rear window, to do that they cut the seam with both pieces installed, and they cut my defrost elements on the inside of the glass. On frosty mornings, the middle didn't defrost. I ordered the moleskin from the site tacobill listed in his write up. It hasn't arrived yet, but I'm trying to keep the windows up until it gets here. It wasn't the cheapest stuff available, but I didn't really look for a deal. Another option is to order the 08 window seals that now come with the felt on them, but they're more expensive. I opted to try to cheaper moleskin first, if it doesn't work well, I'll go for the 08 seals.
