He did my windows today. I want to get the sunroof done but there is an issue. I have vinyl graphics on my roof and his application process has him cutting/heating molding the film on the outside before installing it inside, particularly when working upside down on roofs. So, if anyone in the area with a R56, a sunroof, and no roof graphics would let me use their roof as a template I will pay to have yours done at the same time....

I really want to cut down on the sun by getting limo tints on my sunroofs. The stock sunshade they put in our cars is pretty useless. ]]> Chicago MINI Motoring Club bigcat68 http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/chicago-mini-motoring-club/178631-free-sunroof-tint.html http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/chicago-mini-motoring-club/178268-who-should-replace-my-seized-up-power-steering-fan-near-ohare-new-post.html Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:47:40 GMT Hello fellow Chicago Mini-mongers- can anybody recommend a nearby shop (OHare "region" lol), that can be trusted to wrench on my '05 MCS?

The law changes to allow up to 32% tint all the way around the vehicle except for the windshield. If your rears windows are tinted darker than 32% than your front windows can only be 50%. ]]> Chicago MINI Motoring Club bigcat68 http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/chicago-mini-motoring-club/177700-tint-law-in-il-about-to-change.html http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/chicago-mini-motoring-club/177646-invite-mad-city-drive-nov-7-a-new-post.html Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:13:45 GMT http://www.northamericanmotoring.com...age-drive.html
