Window Tints

BrandonGrays0n · 06-10-2018, 08:53 AM

Alright guys.. New to the forum.

Just got myself a 320d e92 and took it for window tinting and they showed me a problem with matrix dots, the matrix dots make the tint look like its not been fitted correctly. So i didn't get them done in the end just wondering if anyone has a solution to get around this as 100% think the car would look better with the windows tinted.

Any ideas or solution to this would be appreciated.
Cheers

Just got mine done about 2 weeks ago, 20% all windows. As for the dot matrix, it's not that noticeable. Make sure to remove the 3rd brake light so they can tint that area. No tools needed for removal/re-install.

I believe they stick a black vinyl over the dot matrix which makes it blend in with the tint. I'm with you though, getting this wrong can ruin your car!

Some tint places are better then others at tinting over dot matrix or as someone else mentioned put a black strip over it.

I used to run a roof spoiler that would hide most of it but I no longer run the roof spoiler and mine is pretty good (and I'm picky).

When I got mine installed they used dotrix to cover the dot matrix. It’s basically a black vinyl.
