TINT

[bry]

So i am thinking of tinting the rear passenger and quarter light windows.But i thought i would go the whole hog.And tint the rear window also.
But i am unsure as to how this would affect the demist heating elements,or the tint itself.Has anyone done their rear window.And if so any problems?

tint away, get no probs at all, but remember the rear window is curved resulting in a challenge for tinting it

As said no problem. Rear window best down in two pieces. Put the join along one of the heated rear window lines then it won't show.

Anyway i am i lazy bugger.And this may seem like a daft question.But is it possible to tint the windows on the out side.The reason i ask is(Lazy)I am around 6ft,1.So clambering around in the rear of my truck with the tint would be awkward(dodgy hip)Doing the rear window would be easy anyway And i always prefer the easy option.

pft, youcan take the buggers right out if you want
Rear screen needs heat, but the door does open

You cut all the windows in reverse on the outside first anyway so all the fiddly stuff is easy then just apply on the inside.

If ya talking about the rear windows.I was looking at hem today,not sure how to access the hinges.On my T2 its the old fashioned hinge type window clasp to open them.

I seem to remember they're behind the plastic trim

While you're there you can take the rear trim right out the way and then fit over sized tint on the very back windows. Trim with scalpel and cover the dodgey edges with the trim again
OR just cut it from the outside and with loads of wet you can position it tidy like
