i went to 3 different window tint shops today to get my windows tinted, so when i do get my a/c unit, it will help keep the inside cooler.
all three places did a test section and said the outside wrap areas of the rear window is a huge problem, even when making a vertical slice near the corners.
have any of you found a place that was able to tint your big back window ?
i know they sell tinted glass now, but dont want to spent that kind of money...
thanks

I have never done it myself but it looks easy enough. Some of the trucks I have bought during the years have had tint done on them I take it off the windshield & side windows & leave it on the back. Ill send you one if you want io try it.

Must be due to the curvature at the sides.
I'll ask my Boss tomorrow as we do tints at my work.
Just to get his opinion to see if he thinks it's feasible...

It was on the truck when I bought it in '05 and it still looks good. There are lot's of designs to choose from. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,082 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,082 | thanks guys..... on another site a few guys said they had theirs doen with film, so i now know it's possible, but the curvature at the corners is what makes it difficult. if these guys who have been doing it for 20 years are having trouble, there is no way i would tackle it.
i really dont like tint on classic cars / trucks, just me, but in this south florida heat and humidity i want to keep it as cool as i can.
i will look at the graphic panels cletis, thanks..... your flag design goes real well with the red truck.
