Oh yeah, the tint cutout looks bad - good luck getting it re-done.

Guelph Infiniti uses 3M Trim-Line (Mississauga) which I have had done before and also Houghton in Guelph which I've not used.
G/L with the fix....

Any comments on how stupid this sounds. So he's willing to perform an illegal modification to my car. I just have to take it there and be without it for a day...again!

BTW the rear window is being re-done, no-charge. I should be happy but I hate the inconvenience of not having my car. It's getting redone next Tuesday. I'll post up a before/after pic when it's fixed.

Hey,
I had the same problem with my g but do you think it's worth it to put the tint there? Considering they have to take everything apart and it is plastic afterall and wont it start to rattle after some time?
I suggest not doing it because there's a chance the rear end will start to rattle a bit.
i might be wrong....

Anyway, it will all be over soon. It goes back to the shop Tuesday for a facelift (or would it be a butt lift,
)
