Someone must have done one by now. The rest is cake but how did you do the doors? Did you pull the panels or tuck the film? The gasket seems very tight.

Here is a Cooper S I did in Marathon 20% in the rear and 35% on the front doors. I also had to hook it up with one of my custom cut sunstrips. The windshield had some serious bow to it. The best thing about my jig, is you can take out as much curve as you want to. Either alittle or alot. this one I went for as straight of a line as possible.

Can anyone give me info on how to remove the door panel gaskets on this thing? I tried removing the panel, but the rubber is molded to some aluminum rail, and if you try to remove that, the entire window/motor assembly wants to come out. The 'door latch trick' doesn't work on this car either. I wouldn't mind, just tint it with the window down an inch, if I could get this stupid gasket out!

Mini Cooper Clubman

Just did my first Clubman. Finished it in about an hour. Doors are the same, it has one long quarter glass behind the driver door. Behind the passanger door is a small suicide door with a glass, small quarter behind that and the back window is a barn door style with some small windows that need a little shrink.

I haven't gotten my manual (bible) yet...it's been ordered, just not delivered... I have a Mini Cooper S on the schedule for this weekend. Can anyone tell me what the height of the windows are? I'll be ordering a roll of film for it, but I don't want to order a 40" roll if I don't need it. It looks like a 20" roll would fit all windows...anyone? Thanks, Bryan

Has anyone done one of these. What a cake walk. Did my first one today, took about 1.5 hours, next one will be done in under an hour. The only thing is the windows drop when you open the doors (like other BMW's), but other than that they are a easy buck!!

MINI COOPER S
by Guest virgil- 7 replies

I am a Cooper S driver and I was wondering what a reasonable price would be to get the entire vehicle tinted. I live in Texas and I know that the limit is 35 front, 35 back, any rear. Knowing this, I would like (preferably) the legal limit and the back as dark as possible to the point where I can still see through it well. I would like to have the iridescent tint where it is like a one-way mirror. What is that option called? Thank you in advance.

2025 Camry UVU coating on all the glass??
You have to look at the watermark on the bottom corner of the glass. It will have a large UV marking on it if it had the coating. If it does not have the coating it will have the normal watermark that is on all the other vehicles. I have tinted multiple Toyota Crown's and just not used a blade anywhere for cleaning. If you are installing decent film that will last 10 years or better then you shouldn't be worried about failure. If it does fail by then it more than likely will not be an issue for the shop that installed it.- 1

2025 Camry UVU coating on all the glass??
Hey guys! We have the new 2025 Toyota Camry that has just hit. My question is does anyone know if the UVU coating is on all of the glass? If so, how are we supposed to tint these cars? It seems to me that if we tint over the coating, and in the future, the window tint fails and needs to be removed, then what happens when we try to remove the film? Especially on the rear window. Let me know your thoughts. -

What’s the best bang for buck film
Depends on your climate, the cheapest quality films can last 10 years in the right climate. There have been a few posts on here from dealers having some failures after a few years. On Reddit, a guy had a bubbled-up rear window of Pinnacle after 3.5 years. They had some defective master rolls in 2017 causing the films to be much lighter than normal. I haven't seen any issues with IRX or AIR, just ATC and CTX. I don't know if the current ATC is the original but CTX (gen 2) has been out for over a decade, same for Pinnacle. If you're using ATR, it is more bulletproof like many HP films.- 2

What’s the best bang for buck film
Their films have always been good to me. Over the last 40 years I've used several brands but Llumar and Suntek have been some of the best. I remember I shop I was contracting for in the early days of my own business were using Sunguard and they were getting catastrophic failures after only 18 months in some instances. Bubbled rears and distortion on side glass. When they tried to claim warranty on some 20% films that were advertised as Lifetime warranty, they were told that because 20% VLT wasn't legal (At the time) in Australia, there was NO WARRANTY CLAIMABLE- 1
