Stop window auto scroll
Hi,
What is the best method to temporarily, for tinting, disable the auto scrolling of the windows when you open and close an Australia GTS 86? I tried a search, but wasn't too successful. |

sup bru,
well i was also searching for something simliar and i was considering removing the fuse for the windows. however when i did my tinting i was assured by the guys the little movement does little to damage the tint. the best thing to do is just leave it be. just let the tint dry in the sun for the first day and then dont open the windows until the elapsed time for setting. did my tint just over a month ago and havent had a single issue. cheers bru hope this helps. |

There's a black button by the latch for the door on the car (not the door). Just put some tape over that. Otherwise try having someone hold up on the window while you press the button to go down and it should disengage the auto feature. I know when the window freezes in winter it disengages. Then you re-engage it by closing the doors, turn the car key to on, hold the window down button until the window goes all the way down, then keep it held for a couple seconds and run it all the way back up and it will be back to normal.

You could just disconnect battery.

@Rumbaar
Did you get tint installed yet? Actually, don't worry about the auto roll down. When you get yours tinted, just tell the installer to tuck some extra tint on the bottom of the window. That's how the shop did for me. They should be able to tuck about half inch, so it won't bother with coming off. |

Just got my tint installed ~2 weeks ago and voiced my concern about this issue. Was assured that the small movement would not affect it, and sure enough, no adverse effects.
They recommend to avoid frequent open/closing of the door (duh), and if you MUST get in/out often (for things like gas/store/etc) to just partially close the door so you don't trigger the scroll up. After 2-3 days in the sun it was fine. My guys kept it in place, but I didn't watch to see if they needed any witchcraft to make it work. The rear deck was pretty wet, so I assume there was ample water/soap to get it to slide down there. |

Unless you're performing the install yourself, any reputable shop worth their weight in salt should know the proper procedure to keep the glass up while applying the tint. If you're tackling it yourself, then it's as others have said - tape the jamb sensors down and tuck the tint 1/2" or so below the flap line.

Avoid opening and closing your doors. But the way i did it was open and shut it lightly.
