C230
noise is dramatically higher after window tinted
Hi,
I just get my C230 tinted and put felt in it to protect the tint, but I notice that the wind noise is dramatically higher than before. is it a known issue? or anything I can do to lower the wind noise? or caused by the felt that they use?
Thank you in advance!

It sounds like after your felt was installed, the door panel was not re-installed correctly to your doors. Take your door panels off and check.

The door panel was taken off when the felt was installed. When the installer put the door panel back on, it was probably not put back on correctly.

Sorry if I'm a dummy, but can someone tell me what exactly the felt is used for? And what is this in comparison to moleskin? I have a streak in my tint on my rear drivers side window...it appears that maybe something in the door panel caused a thin, perfectly straight slice in the tint...it's not that noticeable, but it is too me....looking to get this redone sometime in the near future...any answers or direction to find the answers to those would help thanks.
