      The hardest part will be finding a single sheet that will cover the whole window. I'd say, if the price is right, get it professionaly done. Try to find a place that does it in one sheet as well.

          It's late at night... make that 3x. And good luck with the tint.

            i think the rear would be the last one i'd try. take it somewhere and they should have one piece to do the whole thing with. remember if you mess up you could mess up the rear defrost.

              Help Tinting windows

              The guy I was going to have do it retired, and the other places that tint around here are really bad. I can't get my side windows tinted yet otherwise I would start with them.

              I have heard that it is a lot harder to do the back window in one sheet instead of cutting it into 3 pieces?

              ill change the title :)

                        If you use a razor blade to clean the window it can cut your defroster and break it

                            the guy doing mine later this month said he can easily do one piece on the rear window but he does it all the time... i really really recommend taking it somewhere. i tried tinting once and thought i did ok until a couple months later. and i would rather have no tint then bubble tint.
