I went to a place called Suntamers and they put the moleskin in for me its been 3 weeks since it was done, I rolled them down and have no problems what so ever! They did a great job!

So is our basic answer that the dealership is going to tell me to DIY it? I was thinking of calling tomorrow to ask, but I might just order the moleskin tonight anyhow...

lol since my girlfriend drives the car too, I am going to have my tint guy disconnect the wires.

Sadly, it will be A/C for a week, but i have seen what can happen when you start using the windows after less then a week. Especially with how the lancer doors come so close to the window. it will cause bubbles for sure if its not dried right in the sun for a good 4 days.

I tint windows for a living and was hoping i could help out. The scratches in your window film could be from the installers squegee if not done correctly. They could also be from dirt ir dust settling on the inside of your window seal and rubing against window when you roll them down. Buy a can of plexus to apply to the windows every so often. It's a plastic cleaner/polish which makes the tint very smooth to the touch. I give it to every one of my customers after i tint their cars, never had any problems I use llumar tint with no problems 3M is pretty cheap stuff
