Window Tint Question

Anyone tint their M6's?

Did they have to take off the door panel due to the auto up feature when the door closes?

What type of tint did you guys use metallic, ceramic etc?

Thanks

Also, what do you guys do about the dot matrix?!
I’ve never dealt with this in the last, and the tint doesn’t look great over the dots

No, door panels where removed. I got laser cut metallic I believe. Tint will cover that “matrix” of dots. There’s nothing to do about that but go to a qualified installer that can cover it best as possible.

Any interference with your comfort access or radio etc with metallic tint?

I would highly recommend you get ceramic tint. Mine was around $450 all around including the windshield.

15% on the sides
5% rear
50% front

No issues whatsoever.

Where in FL are you located?
Maybe I need a better tint shop
The tint isn’t laying over the dots so well
