Saw this thread in the DIY section but the pics dont work. Is this still a problem on our cars? I have an 07. Is this inner door pillars? We're not talking about the exterior of the car are we? I just talked to a local tint guy and he says he uses a heat gun and that all tinters do. He claims he's been tinting for 20 years and never had a problem. Im kinda worried about getting tint now

Most people don't stand there and watch as windows get tinted. I noticed he was using one on my rear window when I picked up, therefore I assume he used it every where else.
My stuff is fine. (I used the best guy in town)

Guys im asking if this is still a problem on our cars? I think i clearly stated that in the thread. If you look at that link I posted there are several people that have messed up door pillars from what they think was a bad tint job with a heat gun. Im asking if others have experienced this and what door pillar on the car gets damaged because the pics dont work in the link i posted.

my tint place uses a heat gun.... no problems on pillars or tweeters or whatsoever
tinted 3 ISx50s at my place they never screwed up anything... it depends on the person who tints your car

if the tinter was careless and rushing through the tint job he may have swiped the heat gun over the panel and may have melted it. common problem with new tinters when they try to heat out fingers and stuff on the tint. All my tinters at my shop have experience and i have never had a problem like that. take your car to a experienced shop that has a good rep and pay the extra money rather than going cheap with new shops and run into this headache.

Yep, used a heat when doing my windows. It's the only way to get the tint to mold to the shape of the glass before install. A tinter has to be really careless to burn the door trim moldings or the rubber around the glass. The tint will wrinkle, crease, or burn before that happens. Like others have said, you should be fine if it's a reputable shop.
