Can GLS windows be tint?

I have planned to put tint on my GLS for avoiding the heat and UV.
Rang the local tint specialist and had a chat. I was told that it is impossible to tint for MB GLS latest model because the door rubber frame will damage the film.

Tint specialist mentioned that it has happened to BMW some latest model, would apply to MB as well.

Does it really happen? Has anyone done the tint without any problem on the latest GLS model? How? Thanks.

Hi Fabbrisd,

Thanks for the reply. will talk to the specialist about it tomorrow.

has visited the workshop to discuss the tint issue for GLS. The specialist has shown me the problem will be caused by the rough surface of rubber of trim by widows.

I did mention about your message, and the local specialist said that a back strap can be covered on the rough surface, but not sure how long the strap will last. And the strap is got from America.

Therefore, for safety, I decide to endure the sunlight and uv hurt, not to tint the windows finally.

My front windows are tinted and I don't have streaking problems. Hasn't happened to any of my GL's or GLS'

Just get them tinted and if they scratch after a few years just get them tinted again. These day I rarely open the window anyway .
