Default Tinting

Guys and girls im looking at tinting the scoob, but im a little worried that because there are no frames to the windows will the tint peel as it rubs against the rubber seal when the doors are closed???? Anyone tinted theirs had any problems?? any ways around it??? cheers

I've not tinted the windows on a scoob but is it not the same with every car? ie. there is a rubber seal around the window frame, so it would just be done in the normal way.

could be wrong so dont quote me

I think that as long as you use a quality company you shouldn't have any problems.

I also have tints all round, and have never had a problem.

Just don't go TOO dar on the fronts or the local Rozzers will have their "Natural Light Sensors" out and slap you with a £30 fine. (I had this on my CRX)
