I plan on getting my windsheild tinted with 50% today. I was wondering, would you tint the window and cut out around the Mercedes Product sticker, tint over it, or just peel it off completely? I highly doubt you would be able to reapply the sticker after its been peeled off.

If you are tinting the entire windshield

you want to remove the sticker

otherwise the tint will bubble and start to peel


To cut out around the sticker looks stupid

from the inside - I know someone who

did this - didn't like it - and had the

windshield redone with the sticker removed

for a redo price


It is your car - Do what you want

Don't worry what I think


Thank-you

Good Quality Ceramic Tint only, do not go for the cheapest as it will scratch from cleaning.
Use clean micro fiber,vinegar and water only. Ammonia products will affect the colour.
Just sayin!

Thanks everyone, went ahead and just removed the sticker completely. Didn't realize you could just buy the new updated sticker anyway..

Cheap tint turns purple and is the most likely to bubble

crack and peel

Use an alcohol based cleaner like Spray Away (@Costco)

Sparkle paper towels are the least abrasive

and leave the least lint

Some paper towels like Bounty will scratch the tint

and it shows when the sun comes out


Several of my cars have tint that is at least

15 years old and it still looks good

You get what you pay for


Funny tale to tell

I have been around the first tint shop in the Seattle

area since it open in 1985 - doing the big name

dealers in Seattle and Bellevue - These days most have

gone with the guy who has the lowest price


This shop still does Bellevue BMW but about 5 years ago

Barrier Mercedes went with a lower price for their customers

who wanted tint but when the owner or his wife got a new

car (often) he wanted his cars tinted at the original shop

because of the quality -


Enjoy your retirement Jimmy

What percent do you have all the way around? I did 47% on windshield, 5% rears, 20% on the fronts. Also is that blue hue factory in your headlights??

In my state it is illegal to tint the windshield more than a six inch strip at the top. The remaining windows (at least the front side windows) must pass a darkness test and be within parameters set by the DMV.

I too was curious if anyone was having cop problems with the tint.
In my area most will look the other way, unless the windshield is done.
That seems to be an instant pull over.

Some states allow a Medical exemption

regarding the windshield and the side / back windows

Check the law in your state
