Tinting side windows to hide lines

[VegarHenriksen]

Hello,

Does anyone here know how to tint the rear side window in a way that hides the lines?

Thanks in any advance for any info.

You can’t

Yeah those will stay on there sadly.

Is that window different on the Plaid? It seems like a lot of people are able to hide those lines. Example here:

It depends on the tint installation. You have those bubbles there and the tint installer can lay down the tint to fill those gaps for a short time period but eventually they come up and reveal that line you are seeking to eliminate.

Thanks for your insight. What about putting a layer on the outside?

It does seem like Tesla changed it from a “dot matrix” edge to a straight edge at some point, probably with the refresh.

The dot matrix edge will show the tint outline that’s more visible. The straight edge will still have a tint line if seen up close but not as visible from a distance.

Tint isn’t meant to be on the outside and will not last.

Would something like this work?

TintGel fixes your dot matrix dots easily! No more edge release!

You would need to talk to your tinted. That’s not something you can apply after the fact. Basically they have to cut the tint smaller than the dot matrix and paint over the dot matrix with black paint. I don’t think many shops are willing to do that.

I'm going to find a shop somewhere in Europe that can hide the white lines. I'm extremely flexible. Thank you for the answers!

I got the 2023 MSLR and the lines are not visible. I assume they changed it like what was mentioned above.
