    I got my car tinted about a month ago and i'm getting these scratches on the inside of the windows. After talking to the guy that installed the tint, he said its from the rubber shroud at the bottem of the window. He also said its always going to be a problem because most cars have a felt inbetween the window and the shroud, but the lancer doesn't :? ....Is anyone else having any kind of trouble like this or is there anything I can do to fix it??? I was already told that he will re-tint the windows, but i want to fix the problem before i get his done.

    you need to buy felt replacement for your car before tinting it, all the lancers ahve these issues.

    Is this something I can just pick up at any auto store, like pepboys?

    Thanks for the help guys. I'm going to order that stuff and have the guy re-do them.

    is there a reason mitsu didnt put the felt/moleskin on the doors? seems kinda cheap of them....especially with all the other features/details that they did so well with.

    well IMO i love the interior. Navigation,dvd player, 30gb HDD, nice stereo system, auto climate, paddle shifters, sport mode....all for $23000....sorry but that to me is a hell of a deal.

    Hey guys. Anyone still have this tutorial floating around? I'm searching around and all the links I'm finding are dead. Just bought my 09 GTS last week and I'm dying to tint the windows, but I read about this tint scratching issue and want to fix it before I get the tints done. Thanks.

    EDIT:
    Nvm, I just found it. If anyone else runs into this thread, here's the tutorial for the moleskin: http://lancertuners.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1153&p=11079&hilit=window+tint#p11079
