Window Tinting for the Mk7

[baker_boy96]

Hi all,
Does anyone know if Rob from Hunters Hill windowing tinting is still in business? I can't get in touch with him.

If now, any other suggestions for Northern Beaches or North of the harbour that do a good job and will do the little window?

Cheers

I believe he is. Fellow forum member Ozram had his Mk7 GTI tinted by Rob just recently (last couple of weeks).

Thanks guys. I did get in touch with him, and he's done my R and it looks great.

Rob's still a great option for tinting on the North Shore.

I heard that tinting the small a pillar window effects the deployment of the airbags. Any truth to this?

I cant see how. that would be like saying the difference between daytime & night time affects the airbags.

Who told you that information and what was their reasoning?

A window tinter, he said that a notice was sent out from VW not to tint the a pillar window due to air bag issues.

I also had Suncare Rockdale telling me that apparently it's "impossible" to tint that A-pillar small window. They said that it's too small, not possible for fingers to get in etc. This was despite me telling them that other places had no problems (eg Rob@Hunters Hill or Reflec Effect etc), and they said that can't be true.

Rob did mine, removed the pillars for better access. Disconnected the battery first to avoid triggering the airbags when he removed the pillars.

As I've never heard of it before & a quick google shows no indication, I'd think he was just making it up rather than admit he couldn't do the job.

A bit like telling my father in law that he couldn't get wifi at home on his ipad because his desktop computer was too old. It was their way of saying "we haven't a clue"
