69 vette

got this one to do tomorrow. never done one of these. it has the t-tops where the back glass comes out.

i havent ever tinted one of those year models, looks pretty easy
we must have pics of this car and tintjob, looks like a nice car

if nobody's done one, i'll take some pics. it looks easy, but looks can be deceiving.

i am curious to see if it has a seal at the top of the door panel or of they used that hairy crap on it. i could have swore i tinted a early 70`s model and it had that short hairey stuff instead of a rubber seal. might not be though.

are you going to tint the sun roofs too?

i did one similar to that a few weeks ago...well, the guy just wanted the back glass done......there's a VERY BRITTLE piece of trim that covers most of the back glass from the inside (easiest way to cut it out) the car i did had that piece broke, so i asked the guy to remove it before he brought it to me.....as i looked at the piece of trim the side panels have to be removed to get it out without breaking it....the back glass is easy as hell, its installed from inside the car, with butyl, so it's free and clear glass on the inside, no rubber, nothing the only obstacle is the trim piece......i'm not sure about the doors, as he only had me do the back glass....hope this helps ya.

this bg comes out. like is made to come out. it's designed to come out when you remove the sunroofs, so the air flows better. (this is what the guy says) he says it has clamps, like the t-tops. i don't know, i didn't have time to look at it.

wow, never heard of that before.

me either. kind of curious to see it up close. the guy probably knows, he bought it new in 69.

damn a 1 owner, find out how many miles it has on it, that would be interesting to see.

sorry td, i just saw that. no, just two doors and bg.

hell that should just be about 60 bucks, its all flatglass and it should be easy, right? its only 3 winders sound familiar

ya i think the sunroofs would be the hardest ones to tint on that car

tts, make sure you take pics of that thing, never heard of the 'removable' back glass sounds kewl though, if he's not a moron.

here's the damn car. this thing was awful. never had so much problems with such a small glass. hope i never see another one. and it was a 68, not a 69. that was my fault.

here's the latches that hold the bg in.

when you undo the latches, the glass falls inside the car and you pull it out through the door.

here's the b***h finished. it looked good, but i had to do the back twice, and that pissed me off. the sides were easy as hell.

Why'd you have to do the B/W twice?

the bg would have been easy, but it had that damn chrome trim glued around it, so whenever it got wet, dirt from the 70's started coming out. the first time, it just had more dirt than i wanted, so i redid it. the second time looked good. a little dirt in one of the corners, but damn, IT AIN'T GONNA BE PERFECT!

On glass like that I'll clean it like normal then take it outside and hit it with a hose. Cuts down on alot of s**t!!!

that's what i do. i did this one that way too, but it was just caked up in the bottom of it. the top and sides were actually really clean.

That's the same problems that I had with a vette from the early '70s. That one didn't have removable rear glass. Did the sucker twice 'cause of dirt.

I've only done one (can't remember the year of the car) but the cust requested the tint to be put on the outside, cause someone got a little crazy with the DA sander and scratched the glass and wanted to hide it with tint

this one had DA scrathces on the bg too.
