What Is It?
Tint Protector Felt is a thin stickyback moleskin felt made specifically for automotive use. It combines a soft felt surface with a strong heat and moisture resistant adhesive.
Think of it as a soft barrier between your tint and anything that can scratch it.
Unlike generic moleskin felt, it is built to handle the heat, moisture, and constant movement inside a car door. Once installed, it stays in place and holds up over time.
Why Does Window Tint Scratch?
Every car door has weather seals that press against both sides of the window glass. The outer seal almost always has a soft felt lining. The inner seal on many vehicles does not. It is bare hard plastic.
That hard plastic collects dirt and debris. Every time the window moves, that grit gets dragged across the tint and cuts into the film.
Once the damage is done, the tint has to be replaced. See an example of what scratched tint looks like.
Tint Protector is applied to this hard plastic seal, creating a soft barrier between it and your tint.
Not All Moleskin Felt Is the Same
Most moleskin felt is made for light use like foot care, crafts, and furniture pads. The adhesive is standard and the felt is thin. It was never designed to live inside a car door.
Inside a door panel, temperatures can climb well past 100 degrees on a hot day. Add humidity, rain getting in, and the constant friction of a window moving up and down hundreds of times a year. Standard felt adhesive breaks down fast in those conditions. It peels off, shifts out of place, or leaves adhesive residue on your tint film.
Tint Protector felt uses a high temperature automotive grade adhesive developed specifically for this environment. The felt itself is also denser and more durable than generic moleskin. Once it's in, it stays in.
Built for Window Tint. Used Everywhere.
Silence a rattle. Cushion a wire where it rubs against metal. Line a drawer, a toolbox, a gear bag, or a storage bin. Protect a surface where two parts make contact and wear against each other. If something squeaks, rattles, chafes, or scratches, a strip of Tint Protector felt usually fixes it.
