Window Tinting for the Mk7

[NSNO]

Hey everyone, first post on here. I've just picked up a GTI 40 and I'm wanting to get the front two windows tinted to match the rear privacy glass as closely as possible.

I'm glad that I read this forum this morning though as it has saved me a wasted journey. My car was booked in to get tinted today but then I read on here that some tinters will not do the front quarter windows. So I phoned up to ask the question and was told no, so cancelled as it would look odd them being untinted.

I'm based in Sydney and it looks like a lot of people are recommending Hunters Hill Window Tinting. Does anyone know if they're open on Saturday as on the website, it just says appointment only for every day.

Alternatively has anyone used OZTINT? I spoke to them over the phone and they can do the front quarter panel also and match the rear privacy glass.

Also what is the best tint to go for in terms of make? I've read that 3M is good but OZTINT told me that if I used this then it won't match the privacy glass.

I'm more interested in getting the OEM look with the privacy glass as opposed to the actual benefits of the tint.

be brave dude. Give Rob a call. He works 25/8. He'll fit you in either at his workshop or mobile.

Don't worry about brand - Robs been in business for 20 years and only uses good stuff.

+1 Rob from Hunters Hill is definitely the way to go. Each time I've had Rob tint my cars all of them have been outside of office hours, and none of them at hunters hill. He'll work around you, will tint the quarter panels, and is cheap.

I've had multiple cars done by him, and none have ever had an issue with the tint after years of being on the car. Quality stuff. Just do it - there's a reason so many people recommend him!

Ok thanks for the recommendation. I'm definitely going to go with Rob now. It's good to know that he comes highly recommended. I definitely feel better now that he will do a good job and I don't have to worry about it being screwed up. I was a bit worried about it going wrong. If he can do the quarter panels then he must be good as other tinters won't touch them.

Does Rob accept payment by credit card?

Rob emailed me a bill after he completed the work and I made an EFT

Still struggling to find a good tinter in Melbourne. I've heard some suggestions but not getting far with no returned emails or phone calls!

Had the dealer tint my Golf this week, upon delivery though I noticed that the little triangle A pillar windows were not tinted.

Does anyone know of a place in Canberra that does this?

So I got my windows tinted by Rob (including the front quarter panels) and yes he is a nice bloke and did a great job. I'm happy with the finish and it sets the car off nicely now with the rear privacy glass matching the front two windows.

If anyone has a Golf in Sydney and is looking at getting it tinted then Rob is your man.
