Full Version: Tinting my 96 mustang convertible
I have already done the 2 little passanger and driver side windows andI am about to do the back window. Since its a convertible its alot different then a hard top and in the interior there is a little wire with a plastic case attached to the window....How should i approach cutting the tint to fit around this? Should i cut around the little plactis housing after i have it all done in the inside of the window?
That's a good question. Truth is, no one here does convertibles. We took a vow when we entered into this fine industry that we, as a group, would no longer do convertibles or cars with green interiors. Sorry we can't help you. When you figure it out, let us know. I've always wondered how conv. tops were done.
is there one on each side of the glass? if so, those are the wires that run your defroster, just un plug the black part from the glass, you will still need to cut the tint around the metal tabs attached to the glass, but then you can plug the black pieces back in afterwards. and yes cut it on the inside. Good luck with your adventure. QUOTE (wndotint @ Aug 22 2007, 07:29 AM) [*]537023[/*] That's a good question. Truth is, no one here does convertibles.

Those cars are super easy, post a picture of your work dude. Lets see how it turned out.
Be careful to not cut the top while you're doing it.

I tape the edges of any top B4 cutting or shrinking.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
