Burn in door panel after window tint

littlephilly

So upon picking up my Z from getting windows tinted, I found a dime-sized burnt/molten area at the top of my door panel up toward the side mirror. This was caused by the heat gun they used, and I had this done at a reputable shop nonetheless. The owner has reassured me that he has a guy that can make it look "95% back to normal" but I don't know what to do. Has anyone else had similar damage?? BTW my car is not even 2 weeks old, got 500 miles on it...

No. I have no issues.

I am assuming the tech was careless and hold it too close to the plastic? See how they fix it. If you don't like it, have them replace the plastic part from Nissan Dealer.

sorry if too large... i'm new to this. Also, would I need the entire door panel replaced or is this a separate part? I wold just look at it but i don't want to open the door again since the windows are not dried yet..

If this were my car, I'd have them buy the new part from Nissan and install it. Seeing a 5% remaining blemish would piss me off every time I saw it.

i'm going to nissan tomorrow morning and getting a written estimate for replacement.

Some scratches to compliment the burns too... FYI the car has 580 miles on it.

I agree. Be firm and don't get pushed around. Their solution to this should be to replace the full panel. You need to view this as damage done to your property by a business. The business has a responsibility to fix it to your satisfaction.

BTW, should the business ultimately shaft you, feel free to start a thread stating your review of the business. People need a forum to discuss the quality of work done by businesses.

Hope it works out for you

Hey my friend, same thing happened to me. The tint shop that done it is replacing the door panel. Took them a long time time but they finally came around.

The place i got my windows done was really good about making it better. I've got a new door panel on the way.
