I assume this car is lincons version of the ford fusion.
The whole car is easy to tint EXCEPT for the gay little quarter windows on the back door....I have NO IDEA what ford was thinking about then they designed this crap.
The little window is set in a rubber gasket that is has about 1 1/2 - 2 inches REVEAL, there is NO way to tuck the film that far because its tight as hell. If you guys are familiar with how a new body style accord quarter glass is you will understand this one. This design makes the whole tint job look lke crap.

getting people to pay good money for the additional cost of removing the glass is tough enough. Ihave a little trick that I want to share. I cover the area on the outside with agood quality black vinyl.with practice, you can make it look like a factory piece,in no time flat. It looks real good and saves a boatload of time.I use this on mercades and accords. I will post a pic here in a minute.

i just pull the windows out like on a fusion. theres a tip on here about removing the fusions qtr window and it also works on the zephyr. the only thing is that on the zephyr you get the chrome trim that wont slide forward like the black trim on the fusion does. the trick to this on is to pop it loose on the rear part of the door. takes some patience to put it back in but once you do one you will find it easier to pull the window out to tint the whole thing, rather than sit there and fight with each qtr window to make the tint look good.

Just did one last week and it was cake except for those quarters  Told custy about the quarters and he agreed to pay more for the whole window. Took me a while to get them out, but job came out 100%. Whoever designs these rubber gaskets needs to be slapped!
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
