I have to correct my previous statement. In Canada the power shades are part of the 'Executive Package'! Sorry about that!

I stopped by a tint place this morning. The guy said he has done several F01/F02s and the trick it to remove a piece on the top of the door (when its open) to get access to the window shade area. He said they do not take the door apart.

They quoted me $300 for top of the line 3M hybrid tint. (including the front windows) Sounds expensive.

That's correct. It's actually fairly easy to remove the part if you know how to. That's what they did on my car too. I got 32% all around and with the power shades, I have the option to make it brighter or darker in the rear 'on-demand' which is nice! I got the ceramic stuff installed on mine, don't recall the manufacturer or type they installed though. I paid more than that, but he also took his time and did a great job. Hopefully I will find some time to post some pictures soon.

My dealer had said that they woudl organize their body department to take off teh door panels and they had a tint shop that they ahd experience with to make this happen. WHen windows are tinted, a solutionis applied and it runs and drips down, possibly onto motors, the leather, etc. If they remove this professionally, cover everything up, have tint applied and then put it back together, it should be perfect. I hope.
I'm looking at 20% all the way around.

Attached is the pin/hole I found on the top of the sunblind of our 7er. How would you remove this? I pull and push it a little and it seems very secure.

Anyone has rattle noise after removing and putting this piece back together?

I am soon to get my tint done, and know with such a gap is for me.....

Any comments or instruction is welcome.

Hey there, I know it's been a while since you posted this, but I was wondering how you found a fix for the window tint gap on your GM car? I had a similar issue with my old car, and I found that using a small, thin strip of tint along the gap helped to make it look a bit more seamless. It's definitely not a perfect fix, but it might be worth a try.
Also, just wanted to chime in and say that I recently discovered the car shade for a baby option for keeping the sun out of the car. I wish I had known about it sooner, especially during those hot summer months! It's definitely worth considering if you have little ones or pets that you want to keep cool and comfortable during car rides.
