i have just tinted my rear window and it were alot harder than i thought. it probably doesn't help with how curved the window is and that i did a major fook up lol. i managed to put the top piece on to high so that when i put the bottom bit on the was an inch gap lmao. i managed to put a third piece in though

Tidy 8)

I never even attempted to tint the rear on my nova, and thats nowhere near as curved as that... although it did take me god knows how many attempts (and rolls of tinting film) to get the side windows looking good!! :lol:

If you wet the outside of the window on lay the film on then go over it with a hairdryer or hot air gun, the film will take the shape of the window, then just add the soapy water to the inside, peel the backing and it should fit nicely with no creases.

did you have a problem with the film over the bumps of the ceramic bars of the heated element ?

or does it go through the middle of the glass ?

not to much of a problem, you just have to squeegy the water out by following the lines. i also went over it with a hair dryer to dry it aswell
