There are at least 2 full topics on this. I know one is in the Exterior Mods section.
I had the problem and installed the moleskin channel liner to fix it.

 

Count me in with scratched tint. I'm also goin to take it to the dealer. My Servive Mgr asked me to bring it in so they can look at it and see if they can tell what is scratching it.

 

Several on mine from the very first time I rolled them down after the tint cured... Sigh.

I have it too! Scratched all over the tint...real annoying!

 

Was it hard to install? Or who did it?

 

Both of mine (driver's & passernger side) are scratched, same spot as others---up front of each window near the side mirrors, so that you have to see / look at them all the time.

I haven't yet taken it up with my dealer, but I will when I go in for the upper strut mount fix.

Someone said the window regulator needs to be adjusted?

It is really not practical to have to clean out the window liner twice a week. Seems to me to be a poor design if we are scratching our window tint.

 

I too have a scratch going 3/4 of the way up on both windows.

 

YES BOTH have scratches.

 

yep got it here.

 

My father installed it. He took the door panels off, cleaned the current liner and affixed the moleskin. It took him about 1 hour for both doors.

I went a different way, I left the door panels on, measured the strips, cleaned the factory rubber with rubbing alcohol, slid the moleskin strip starting at the angle cut (mirror side) in between the window and the rubber strip, at the post side peel the backing off and place on rubber pushing with finger as you peel the backing off run a finger on the top as well so the moleskin is level, run you finger back and forth a couple of times and your done!

 

Nichole, how much did the moleskin channel liner cost? Do you still have any left?

 

I did mine the same way this weekend. Worked great. I got my moleskin from my tint installer for free. Tints R Us in San Jose for anyone in Cali. Excellent service. Got my windows done twice by these guys and I never paid a penny. They tinted them initially because the 05 is just too sick to turn down. I got some serious scratches on the front windows, so he replaced them for free and he even upgraded to a darker tint. Just ask for Juan.

 

No, I don't have any left. You'll need to find a business to buy it from CR Laurence and then sell it to you, so you're at the company's mercy on how much they're going to charge you.

 

CR Laurence is a waste of time. I spoke to several people there and spoke to several of their "so-called" distributors. Couldnt find a single soul to buy some from. After all the hassle, I decided if they were the ONLY supplier worldwide, I would live with scratched windows.

 

I have ZERO complaints about CR Laurence. The company I bought it from called them while I stood there, they shipped it out the very next morning.

 

Is there any other supplier out on the web that sells the channel liner? They can't be the only ones....

 

The only ones I've found.

 

Maybe I am just lucky.......

I had my windows tinted at the dealer (on site) upon delivery in January.
Shortly thereafter I noticed the typical scratches in both sides.

On April 25th I returned to the dealer for some other warranty work and advised them about the scratches. Service writer stated they had another 05 come in with same issue. The service writer, upon pick up of the car, stated they re-tinted the windows and "adjusted the window regulators." I noticed that they did not add any felt or other type of different inside strips. Well so far, the scratches have not reappeared! I have had the windows up and down approximately 6 ~ 8 times since the repair. So hopefully my particular problem on my baby is solved. Only time will tell.
