Anyone know of a good place to get my windows tinted? I'd like to go somewhere that has experience with Minis. I'm not sure how they'll handle the windows automatically lowering a fraction when you open doors.....any suggestions?

 

I used The Tint Shop on Jefferson Road, near intersection with East Henrietta Rd. I didn't have the front windows tinted, but they do have experience with MINIs in general and with the way the front windows work in particular.

 

Thanks Pamlico. I had the windows to my wife's xB done there. They do good work. I'll give them a call. I wanted to do the rear windows darker than the front. I hope that's something they will do also...

 

I'm sure they'll tint the front and rear windows different shades.

 

Windows lowering a small fraction should be a common thing. All new bmws since 2002 have them.

 

I went to the Tint Shop after all.....They did a wonderful job and were familiar with the window issue. Audi's, BMW's and 350Z's also have this issue. They also handled my 35/20 tint request...Thanks Pamlico

 

Glad to help out and good to read they did a good job.

Maybe see you driving around here sometime. I have an '05 BRG / B MCS JCW (no badges) w/ black hood stripes.

I have an 05 JB/B with white bonnet stripes that have a fading checkerboard pattern. We'll be at the Watkins Glen run on the 21st....would love to go both days but I have to work

 

The reason the window drop ( on BMW coupes and Mini's only ) is b/c theres no window frames on those certain cars .....the window needs to drop to clear the roof line. And it started in 99' when the first E46 was produced actually.
