Door Panel Disassembly

Door panel disassembly is the removal of interior door trims required for proper edge-to-edge tint installation on some vehicle models, allowing the film to be tucked fully into the window channel.

Many modern vehicles — particularly European premium cars — have intricate window seals that cannot be properly loosened from outside the door. To install film edge-to-edge with full tucking, the installer disassembles the door card to access the channel from inside.

This is a more involved procedure, adds time to the job, and requires familiarity with each model's clip and fastener layout. Done badly, the door card can be damaged or rattles can develop.

Infratint handles door panel disassembly as standard for models where it produces a meaningfully better install — Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Porsche, certain Lexus and Volvo platforms. We document any pre-existing clip issues during the pre-installation inspection.
