TTT 1st Gear March 7, 2016 Share March 7, 2016 Send a written complaint higher up. Removing the window film especially for rear windows run the risk of damaging the defogging function of the rear window. Should try to avoid replacing the rear window film. So better insist and ensure that they do not install the window film and if they do proceed against your instructions, put it in writing they will have to bear the repair cost for the rear window defogger, if damaged subsequently. The window film is fixed locally and done just a few days before delivery, so no reason why they cannot accede to one's instruction. At the most you do not ask for any $50 offset. After they agree, remind them again once you are informed to make the final payment. Thanks for the advice. I sent a feedback to MI and they replied via email that an investigation is underway. Wonder if they will really do something, or is it just a template response..haha ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT 1st Gear March 7, 2016 Share March 7, 2016 Used the feedback form on the website to submit. A customer service exec contacted me. Then the matter gets forwarded to the relevant manager and it gets settled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngbernie 3rd Gear March 7, 2016 Share March 7, 2016 For those who are on the free solar film, a cheaper upgrade will be installing those custom (Groovy brand) sunshades that fit perfectly. Costs $160-180 for the 6 side windows. Cuts out most of the heat and they are removable. I also got 3M type car mats for $55, no smell, quite well made and fits well. Both were purchased from carousell sellers: perfectshadesg and rosesbed if anyone interested. Also tried self-applying glass coating but turned out far-from-perfect because I couldn't keep out the dust on the windy night. Ah well it's only a forester and its just usd50 for their "ultra" grade. I advise you to go to the professionals if you are particular. Otherwise you can try googling "Nina Enomoto TOP RUN CO., LTD." and ask for their sample Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grisson 1st Gear March 7, 2016 Share March 7, 2016 Remember to remind your SE again before you pay the balance of your downpayment settlement....there was a bro who opted out for the tint, & when he collected his ride, the tint already up....

stripes 1st Gear March 8, 2016 Share March 8, 2016 I opted out for solar film also. I tot I was the only one For me, my SE told me to remind him again before car registration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic March 8, 2016 Share March 8, 2016 (edited) Sounds like solar film and rest of the freebies are standard issue since the cost to MI is minimum. MI then band these as "freebies" for SEs to "sweeten the deal" so that buyers feel that they are so "smart" to squeeze it out of the SEs. Notice all those who opted out has to remind SEs not to install closer to delivery date? That is because the solar film is installed by default! Of course how the SEs make use of this advantage differs amongst them. Some no nonsense one will just tell you he will include all the freebies with 3K discount on first and only offer. Some will wayang,... give you 1K discount first then later say 2K...and after you haggle somemore he will tell you ok lar, you drive a hard bargain, he will give you 2.5K discount and throw in all the freebies for his final offer.
