im getting my windoes tinted tomarrow should i turn off the window indexing?

rolnslo · 02-15-2010, 06:45 PM

Not sure there is an "OFF" for indexing. My tint was fine even with the indexing still enabled.

Just inform your installer that you've got window indexing on your car, they should be able to answer questions about that for you, but it shouldn't really cause an issue.

the bottom of mine is kinda F'd up from the indexing.. but can you pull the fuse and it actualy open or close with the window jammed up inside of the track?

My non-Camaro has indexing and the tint is about 2 years old. I don't see any difference between the bottom section of the tint and the rest of the window. If it shows damage later, it's covered by my lifetime warranty. If that company goes out of business, paying some other company to replace just the side windows is very cheap!

I just had mine tinted 15% the installer took a hair dryer and heated the tint at the bottom of the window so it would dry very quick. By the time he was finished with the rear I could open and close them (No Problems)

Notice whenever you open your door your window roll down about half and inch and then roll up up you shutting your door. This is 'indexing'. This is done so that your car will have a tight seal and allow for a few different things to happen, most notably less road noise.

No problem here with the tint and I did not remove the fuse... The installer used the heat gun like on Baysinger's...
