Want the windows tinted on the back of the Daddy Bus. I have never been down this road before. I am told that film is ok. I am also told it is pants and not to put it over a heated rear window.
I did get a quote on getting the glass popped out and replaced with smoked glass. But I cant spent as much on the glass as I did on the bus and as usual Mrs Monty has me on a budget,
ANY IDEAS ?

i done my old golf with a freind, its pretty difficult, but depends on the window, sides are pretty easy cos they're flat, the back is a bit more tricky, just make sure you take the windows out, buy a massive squeegee cos the ones they give you are crap. and buy a little bit lighter than what you think you need, cos it'll look loads darker when all the tinted windows are in the car.
the way i got round my back window last time was to do it in 3 strips, and make sure the joins are on the heated window strips Very Happy.
i also blew a tiny bit of laquer around the edges aswell, this stops air getting under the film and making it peel.
hope this helps.

Anyone got a ballpark figure for what you'd pay professionally just for the sides/rear tinting ?
