I started to take the panels off but would not recomend it some of the same screws that hold the panels on also hold the window regulaters up (kinda weird0 aleast on the back doors.

[*]390173[/*] I dont think so shady sherlock- [*]390185[/*] Just wondering how dark we could tint the rears. A PT Cruiser is an MPV....right???..... I hope it is, cause I've sent some out with the rears way darker than 32%. Bleep beep!

We've done a couple of those. It's another one for the tinters by far. Cake walk.
Yeah, I hope it's an mpv too, because that's how we've been tinting them up.
did one today
1st 3 peice back window Ive done since the 81 El Camino cake walk
I did the "b*mb drop" on the sides. Came out clean. Seal remover is a must! It's a wagon BTW!
Oh and the backwindow was cake. Trimming the top was a little tricky. Other than that

stuupid panels.
QUOTE (TINT @ Apr 13 2006, 12:15 AM) stuupid panels. [*]391238[/*] Exactly. I tried to just get the seal out, nope. Had to mess with all the bolts and screws.
On the back glass I trimmed the sides and bottom as normal , at the top I used a white china marker to mark my cut line . Nice and simple unlike the rest of the car
looks good but i dont understand all the tape i never tape n e thing and very seldom do i get trash in it

I've done a few, but never had to take anything apart
what three piece the back window your nuts, the whole car is cake no removal of anything or tearing it apart should take you about a hour max
I did one last week...I removed a couple of screws fromt the front doors and then was able to remove the moulding.
I am a former puller now a tucker and I found the car to be a pain in the butt....not the back window it must have been easy I don't even rember doing it I guess the next one will be easier, I did a new ford Fusion, that was cake, this one I am undecided.....

not to be a dick but not hard to do in a hour when you know what your doin
So I'm doing one of these cars right now . cake walk .
As far as all the discussion on panels/gaskets and such, remove 1 torx screw and remove the gasket yes its a little tight but saving removing the panel makes you get it out
seriously the wizard knows what he is doing
and what dmc's QUOTE (willie @ Aug 10 2006, 09:02 PM) [*]421714[/*] dude the 3 peice was a joke read the whole post I would love to see you do that car by yourself cleaning. cutting, installing, wiping glass, writing invoice in an hour these dmcs are gettin real old Your just old and slow-one hour MAX!!!! Measure that williard! QUOTE (TINTDESIGNZ @ Jul 31 2007, 11:44 AM) [*]528945[/*] Your just old and slow-one hour MAX!!!! Measure that williard! Schedule one for the 17th along with that bug I believe the car can be tinted in an hours I said pull it in, hand cut the windows, 2 minute shrink the back glass, pull seals,clean the windows, stick the film, check for minor imperfections or in your case major, wipe of inside and outside glass,put seals back in, pull the car out, write the invoice and be done in an hour with only no flaws QUOTE (TINTDESIGNZ @ Jul 31 2007, 11:57 AM) [*]528948[/*] I'll agree with that one QUOTE (gtpdude @ Jul 31 2007, 11:17 AM) [*]528939[/*] and what dmc's D--k measuring contest = dmc

I think this car/whatever the fk it is has the flattest back window I've ever dry shrunk...
