Posted: Thu Jan 15, 2009 8:47 pmYes.... have some one else do the tinting job.... if you want to do it.... then make sure to have a heat gun and get all the air bubbles out when doing the tinting... ( I horribly failed on one rear window so I never tried again)

Posted: Mon Oct 01, 2012 4:45 ami've watched a few friends do it. and they sand down the wires a bit to make less room for air pockets.
personally. i'll tint my 4 removable windows and get the rear professionally done.

He didn't cut around each defroster line though... that would take forever and look horrible. Sanding down the lines a little bit is a good idea
