window tint Options

[KaJuN]

well, i plan on tinting my windows some time in the near future. The only question i have about the topic though, is how do you tint the rear glass? i understand you have to merge two sheets together, but has anyone done this before? I would consider getting my windows tinted profesionally, only thing is around here it's anywhere from 300-400 dollars, which i think is outrageous. If anyone has any tips, feel free to share

To do it with one piece and no seams takes practice. The quality brands of tint come in larger width rolls. You cut a piece oversize and place it on the outside of the back window. Using a heat gun you carefully shrink the tint in the areas where the compound curves are the tightest. Then remove the backing and apply from the inside and trim. The tint will conform to the less curved areas without bubbling.

If you can't get a wide roll you can make the seam almost invisible by having the overlap follow a defroster line.

Also make sure you buy a quality tint. The cheaper stuff will just make you mad. The good stuff is a litter thicker which makes it eaiser to work and the actuall tint is part of the plastic film. Cheap tint is a sheet of clear plastic with tinted glue. The cheap stuff is a PITA and it fades much faster and tends to change color.

I have no affiliation with this guy I'm just a happy customer. He has quality tint at reasonable prices.
