Tiguan Tinting

[Freddo088]

Just get back to the question.
Is there any good recommand tint in Brisbane?
I had a quote this morning $430 with 3M film. Is this good price?

Anyone have pics of the front windows matched to the factory rear privacy glass? I would like to do this in the future for a cheap tint option.

After declining the dealer option for tinting when I told them I was getting it done locally for $295, they offered it to me for $310 with 3M film and lifetime warranty (as long as I continue to own the vehicle ). I took it.

For those who are looking for tint, you should need to look for someone with experience on Tiguan. I had mine done with reference with a friend of mine but it was not a happy experience.
It was done very unprofessionally.
Firstly, he cracks the plastic parts next to the rare window while putting back the rubber. Although, they are going to replace a new part but look I only had the car for 3 weeks that's really not a good feeling at all.
Secondly, I found a screw floating around my back seat while I was cleaning. It end up it was a screw they forgot to put back when putting back the door trim.
Thirdly, I found my back door can't open from inside. They claim it was something slip while they put back the door trim.
On my third visit they manager told me the boys had no experience on Tiguan because it's a new model. I start to wonder am I the white mouse in the lab for experiment.
Now, I am going to get the service center to inspect the door trim to see if they were properly put back because I found on passenger window winding up slower than the other 3 windows today.

what a load of bollocks! Poor excuse for crap service, it's only window tinting, not performance tuning!

Jeez mate, that's crazy! Why the hell did they remove anything in the first place? When I had mine done I watched and he didn't have to take anything off, and the tint covers all visible glass. Please tell everyone who did yours so they know not to go to them!

VWs often have 2 "diversity" antennas - the radio chooses the one with the greatest signal strength. Its a solution mainly for compact antennas in the city where reflection, dead spots and interference is common.
Tiguan has a roof whip antenna (or shark fin with RNS510 option), and a printed metallic strip on the top of the rear liftgate window (so called "glass antenna") masquerading as a rear demist wire

As I'm about to get my new Tiguan windows tinted, the above comments concern me somewhat, although I am a little confused?? So Sanman, can you please shed some light on your comments above. Can you use a metallic tint on Tiguan's....particularly the back window. And by metallic tint I don't mean the look, I mean the physical make up of the tint.

Rear window shouldn't be a metallic tint. Sides windows can be metallic.

Wow, you people amaze me. For the sake of saving $100 you risk getting your $50,000 car ruined.

I have never had a completely satisfactory experience with aftermarket tinting.

Even the VW dealer supplied 3M with lifetime warranty I had on the GTI had bubbles etc that got worse over time ...

I'd rather be without to be honest
