Rear tint?

[MadmikeX3]

Hey has anyone tinted there rear plastic windows? How hard is it or can it be done or will it just come off after stretching the tint when top is put down?

[MadmikeX3]

so im guessing that no one has?

is this a ghost post? Can no one see it?

Not a ghost post; I just have never tried it and imagine not many have. I would think the tint would not stand up to the constant lowering of the top. Mine gets kind of wrinkled as it is and needs time to stretch back out. I'd think a film overlay might not fair so well. But I could be wrong.

Good luck!

In my opinion as a bodyman it will just crack and fall off in places at best....at worst it will weaken the plastic and cause it to crack....either way not good.....just fyi....I am looking into putting a glass window in my top for looks and duability as well as ease of tinting.......am speaking with certain shops and should be doable just trying to siz ethe correct window so the top will lower without binding....

but doesn't the stock plastic one fold in to two pieces when put down?

Ok Madmike here it is I once read an article that addressed just this. You could tint the plastic window using static cling film you carefully clean the rear window and the tint is applied to the outside instead of to inside you would spray soap and water and apply it just like regular tint. Once applied you could raise and lower the top like normal and the tint would stay in place when it did begin to bubble in about 2 to 3 months you just simply pull it off about half way and fold it over wash the window and the tint and reaply do the same for the other half. I followed the directions to the letter and I have to addmit it works mine lasted about about 3 months before I had wash and reapply. Here comes the big but I discovered a big problem with this every place that a small bubble or ripple developed in the tint it tranfers to the window when I finally remove the tint my rear window had what looked like pot marks and inperfections all over it in time with the tint gone they cleared some but never went away. My rear window was perfect before and now looks like crap the only way to fix it now is to replace it. The window as far as clarity and pliablity is still great and the window would be perfect if it wasn't for those marks left my the tint. My suggestion is if you really want your rear window tinted have the entire window replaceed with a tinted one if avalible.
