Couldn't make it to the meet, but here are pics of my newest mod done at the same time as benze-ply. Enjoy the pics while they last. Mod may be coming off because I'm having trouble with my lock/unlock ever since I got the tint on:
The tint came out exactly like I wanted it. Thing is, the antenna for our key fob is at the top of the rear windshield. I think the combination of my tint and my roof spoiler is causing a bad signal. Even though I got 3M tint, I think that may be where the issue lies. I looked at the top of the windshield (right behind the headliner) and I may ask them to cut off the top portion of the tint on the rear windshield, to see if it helps the signal, but I have a feeling I may end up having to remove it. We'll see how it goes.

They didn't use metallic tint, did they? I have ceramic tint and haven't had any issues, though I did have to have something swapped out under warranty that was causing trouble with the reception of my keyfob.

nooooo. don't take it off. your tint looked so nice. check if removing that top strip will work.
i still have had no problems with mine.
FYI the 3m tint made drex's windows more blue. its 3m's color-safe non metallic tint. with the same type of % and brand, our tints looked quite different.
there should be better pics to see how nice drex's tint came out but
neither of us had a proper camera.

Tell that to the technician that told me otherwise, dork!...
I checked with my MB tech to see where it is and he said specifically top of the rear windshield where headliner ends. He said that it runs across the entire rear windshield. If you know otherwise, then please advise....
