Default I would...

call your dealer to see who they recommend. Also, it might not hurt to ask people you know who have had their windows tinted and have not had any problems with the tint or the interior parts that may have had to be removed for the tint. Just a thought.<p>parkerpt<br>99.5 1.8T qms

I have the Formula One film, it came with a card that can be carried in your wallet for the lifetime warranty that it carries. My local dealer also uses it. I have had it for a few months and it's good stuff.

Default Sorry...

I must have missed your posts, I'm not on the forum every day and I was off it for about 5 days a little over a week ago. I bought my A4 at Bob Moore in OKC, OK from Dan Mangapit, who has unfortunately passed away since then. I called the dealer in Albequerque and I wasn't even close to being impressed with them. You may want to call the dealer in Colo Spgs because they quoted me $1500 over invoice of any car, on the lot or ordered. The dealers in Dallas didn't seem interested in dealing with me for much more than $500 below MSRP. Good luck.<p>parkerpt<br>99.5 1.8T qms

Default Monroe, CT...

The "Tint Man" in Monroe has done 4+ cars that I know of and they all came out great. He has given me a substantial discount on retinting windows that have been smashed on my car.<p>Hmmm let me think... (not on an A4<p>About 5 years ago:<br>5% rear three windows<br>20% doors (2DR) and sunstrip on front<p>Came out of movies @ 10PM. Car parked within 200' of College's Public Safety, yet...<br>Fist size hole in back right window. Tint kept window together, Nothing stolen, including $3000 in CD's on back seat. New window at junk yard, temporairy tinted with static tint<p>Year or so later:<br>Oct 30: Drivers window smashed, rear window smashed, stereo equipt. stolen. Vacumed up car, drove 2 hrs home, had windows fixed next day. Went back to Tint Man. He retinted rear window, drivers door, and the right rear which I temporairly tinted. I also pointed out that the back left had a small problem and he retinted that one as well. At this point I removed all stereo equipt left and still have it in boxes waiting for my A4.<p>Year or so later:<br>between 10AM-1PM, another fist size hole. This time in drivers door, just above lock (they readhed in and unlocked) to their dismay, no stereo equipt and thus nothing stolen.<br>At this point, I had window replaced and just decided to removed tint off passenger door to match.<p>What all of that means (and I just realized) is that of the windows originally tinted:<br>3 of 6 have been broken (into)<br>1 of 6 has original tint (but it's the front sunstrip - doesn't really count)<br>4 of 6 are tinted now (all by Tint Man - great job and custormer sat./serv)<p>Originally (~5 years ago) I paid ~$125, and when he retinted the back 3 and drivers door, he only charged me $50. Also, at that time, I got a quote for a 4DR Golf III - $140<p>And now that car sits in my garage while I wait for my '00 A4 1.8T. I am currently driving my father's '95 Probe SE, with no major problems (sunroof recently needed overhaul)<p>Mark P<p> <br>
