depends mate

which windows

can u tint ur self
or have u got the cash to have it tinted profesional

Quite a tricky question, because if you try to remove it then some of the sticky backing stuff is bound to stay on your windows, and it is permanent adhesive.
You could try and tint the rest, but have you ever tinted any windows before, i have and i is a right patience testing job, it completely pis**s you off, because the film creases ans sticks to everything, and even fingerprints can make it look crap.
I would try and get the other window done professional, anyway why are only 3 windows tinted, did the other get replaced from a break in or summit?????

i am just guessing but i presume that the 3 windows which r tinted r the rear screen and the rear quarters! and am aloso guessing that they r in a dark or limo black?????

if this is the case and its the passenger and drivers front windows left to tint, then they will fail the mot if they r darker than light smoke( u have to have at the least 75% of the original light allowed to enter the vehicle, e.g. u have to b able to c out clearly,( new legistlation thats come in u can also get nicked for this too!!)

if ur gonna tint them ur self its easier to take the windows out and do them inside, use lost of soapy water to prevent the tint for tearing.

p.s. i'm gonna look a right t**t if the fronts have already been done !!!!

usually the rear and side windows are very black tinted. i think your?s is too, right? you can?t tint your side windows the same.
remove the shit and let a pro tint the 4 windows again.

...also if you try and tint the un-tinted window, you'll probably end up with a slightly different shade or colour of tint to the others

the window adeshive came of no probs with
gasket stripper on a rag and elbow greece on mine when i cocked up my rear window 3 times :evil:

well i dont know y but its the rear screen and the 2 front windows i wa sthinkin bout getting them done by a pro (my uncle) after i get it seeing as i will yet again b doin it up to sell on but my prob at the mo is do i get the whole lot done i got some spare windows which i could put in and then use the old 1's on another car i got and the colour matches perfect on the other car. so what do i do?

[djshongo]

the two front windows.... :lol:
that must look a bit silly :lol:
i would take out the two back windows (easily done) and tint them myself. if u remove the windows first it makes the job a LOT easier.
Get the same colour tint..prob dark smoke or sumthing...tint them using soapy water and a credit card (professional eh.. :lol: )
leave them somewhere warm for a couple of hours and CAREFULLY put them back in..hey presto
sit back and enjoy ur windows! 8)
