Window tinting??

mustangmuscle · 09-11-2007, 04:25 PM

Thinking of getting the windows tinted.
Whats the best say to handle those little dots on the back glass??

When I had my 02 done, the tint shop just skipped that part and began the tint under those dots. Needless to say the gap up there looked like crud, and I was not a happy camper.

Thanks!

Black vinyl strip across the dots.

Thanks alot for the picture! I've been wondering what the vinyl was gonna look like. Gotta say it looks tons better than my 02 did with the tint stopping just below the dots. That huge gap up there was fugly!!!

I like the way you parked it on a wet driveway so it looks like you washed it.

When I did the tint on Tonya's 'stang,I used a hair dryer on all of it to help it form and shape better.Just a little trick I picked up,and it worked like a charm! Not to hijack the thread,but what is the best way to remove tint? My car had the tint on it when I bought it,and it's starting to peel/bubble on the back window,which has defrost,and I don't want to mess up the grid.(even though I think it has a bad relay)

That's an old picture (as is this thread!). I washed it because we were going to the Copper Grill that night.
