Hey guys, picked up my new a5sb on saturday. Today I called one of the few reputable local tint shops to get a quote and they told me that they wouldn't do the car due to problems with water pooling and shorting of electronics. I quickly searched the issue online and found that this is a known problem with the B8 coupe. Of course there isn't much info out there on the b9 SB. Has anyone else run into this issue?

Always a concern when you do tinting due to the fact how much water these guys use....still, that being said a reputable, experienced shop should be able to pull this off no problem.
A coworker of mine uses a tint shop that said they've had problems with Audi's before. My tint guy did my 2016 A6, 2016 A5 Cab and both 2018 S5 SB and TT-RS with no issues.

My salesman gave me the name of the guy they use, and he came to me and didn't raise any issues. It's only been three days, but so far, so good.

Where does the water pool? I don't know much about tinting, other than I'm looking to have mine done...
I got mine tinted and its flawless so far. Its only been three days but I haven't encountered any problems. I saw the guy continuously wipe the water off the film and side panels as he did it. I don't see how water can be a huge issue unless they use a water hose to wet the windows. :/
