Good luck! I sat laughing at my bro trying to fit some in his RS Focus, all he ended up doing was wasting all the tints and getting a bucket load of water over his back seats.


Job for the pro's IMO

If you feel confident, try it yourself. I did quite a few when younger and they came out really well. I did it with all windows out so depends on how you feel about taking your car to bits.

The sides will be okay because you can take them out of the car and get plenty of heat etc, but the rear screen is fiddly and even with the rear shelf out you'll find it difficult to get around the curve of the screen - that why I've bought a factory tinted rear screen

Meh, I have done every car I have owned myself and never had a problem. A few years back I bought a massive roll on ebay, delivered from USA as it worked out very cheap indeed, and have done 4 or 5 cars with it and still have well over half left. Never take the windows out either.

Clean the windows. Clean them again, then clean them a third time. Use a razor blade to scrape the glass clean and a lint-free cloth to buff them so no fluff gets left on them.
There are plenty of guides on youtube that show the basics of how to heat the tint to form the compound curves and get it laid down with no creases or bubbles.

what would scooby do

..or an even cheaper way to tint the all the glass in your vehicle, simply insist everyone in the car wears sunglasses.
