Metalized window tint

Has anyone installed metalized window on the rear window where the antennae<br>
Is in the rear window. Many tinting shops I have spoken to say metalized film on the rear window of a Mercedes will can poor AM radio reception. Any comments? <br>

Re: Metalized window tint

Do you actually listen to AM?<br> <br> If not then dont worry about it. I am having my 2000 E430 tinted on wed. with Sungard that has the metal in it. It is never supposed to fade. We will see.

Has your tint scratched because of the tight window seals? (vertical scratches on the windows)

Recently tinted my E430 with 35% 3M. Tinter does work on SF Giants and 49ers MB's. He says that he removes interior weather strip to avoid long term scratching. It's been two weeks and I haven't noticed excessive wind/road noise.

Danny,

I had them take the windows out, which allows them to get a very clean edge all the way around the glass (hard to tell that it is not factory glass). Other option is to find someone with a computer cut system which can achieve the same results with the windows in place.

much.
