Yep,

The X will have the same problem as the regular non X's.

The problem is farther down inside the door than your finger can reach. The first blades that sit on top and outside of the door panel are felt lined however the window swiper below it is plastic and unfelted. You cannot simple stick your finger in it to feel.

 

The moleskin ... means to protect the tint

 

I checked my tint this moring and there is a very light scratch marks on the tint frim the windows going up and down. However it is very light and almost just looks a like streak that could be wiped off. You really have to look to see it, so I am not too worried about it.

 

Scott,

The line you are talking about will just get deeper over time. Trust me on this

Do it now or you will be sorry…

 

Defineatly worth 30 buck and an hour for insurance

 

^ I already have the scratches..... do yall really think that they will get worse and it will help to still do this mod? If the damage is already done I am not going to waste the time or the money and just get my windows retinted later and do it then. Advice needed...thanks

 

after 2 weeks i noticed scratches on my tint. called my dealer coz they gaved me a free tint. anyhow when back to the shop and showed them the tint getting scratch and i mentioned bout the moleskin and they did the whole entire car and installed the moleskins. the manager told me its $50 canadian. i told him charge it to the dealership...

 

I had tint on all my windows in my GTS and it started light and then it looked like HELL Fast..It made such deep groves that the Sunlight was shining through..Mole skin is the way to go..I havent tinted my X b/c I have to buy these..Its well worth it trust me..Your tint will look like graded cheese after a few weeks of the window going up and down..

 

Just ordered it, thanks for the help and the link to where to order it from. I am going to stop rolling my windows up and down until this comes in and I install it. Now I just have to live with the light scratches that are already there.

 

just done this mod a few hours ago and it is pretty easy to do...hopefully I dont get any scratches now

 

I messed the install all up, I did not put the mole skin up high enough on the guide which still allowed for the plastic to drag some on the tint and collect more dirt which scratched it more. So here is what I put myself through:
-I had to order all new inner window guides - $70 (not as much $ as I though they would be)
-Order new mole skin kit - $30
-Get 4 windows retinted $120 (roughly)
Total - $220

I am a idiot! So pissed off right now about this. What a hassle!
