Window Moleskin
For anyone who has the 09 model, do you guys need the moleskin/felt before tinting the window. It seems that it has the soft felt material already and the tint shop was telling me the same thing. I just want to verify. Thanks.

Well, if it's needed, I don't mind spending the money like for the W203.
I checked the car, it seems that it has some kind of felt already, it's not as bad as the w203.
