Montreal Tinting place?
Hi all, I noticed that the A3 is a bit of a greenhouse with the Skyroof, etc. Perhaps I am blind but it didn't appear that the windows are factory tinted. (they were on my Subaru back in Australia). And I have a 7 month old baby and don't want the rear getting too much sun. So...my question is two parts:
1. Where is the best place to get the car tinted (avoiding the bad places that cut wires, use improper methods which scrape glass, put bubbles, etc, etc)?
2. What is the darkest tint I can get without getting in trouble with the law and does anyone have experience with metallic tint in their Audi?

Re: Montreal Tinting place?
This is what I recall from my research:
Rear side windows and rear window tint level is unrestricted.
Driver and passenger side window tints need to transmit 70% light. Since most vehicles come with some amount of tint on these windows from the factory, you need to put a very light tint on them.
Front windshield can only have tint above a particular line near the top of the wind shield, like the top 15cm maybe iirc? Google this more if you want to tint the top strip of the front window.
All metallic tints are illegal in quebec, I believe.
I had mine done by Autoson on St Jacques. Nice guys, they call some other tint company to have it done, but I don't remember who it is. High quality tints, well applied. Cost around $300 for my A3, which is a hatchback, so 8 windows total, so it could be less if you're driving a sedan or coupe.
