How do you get the back seat out of a 2002 Bonneville. I have the bottom loose but the top is still holding, is there any tips on hoe to get it out? I usually just slide the tint down but this one has a back deck that is high and tight on the back glass and I can't get tint past it so I am trying to remove the back deck. Thanks for any help.

1st time in my entire career. Sent this thing packing today, couldnt get the back glass to shrink. Using a nice friendly HP film and it would just run out of shrink. Couldnt really lift and pull because of the shape (lift to pull and the anchor would release) and I was stressed to the max with selling a car in the same evening. Not really sure where I went wrong, mdog shrink etc... After three attempts to shrink I told em to bring it back another day I was too worked up. I was ready to throw the heat gun through the back window. Def feel like a total noob failure. I've done some tough cars, Z06, GTi etc... I just couldnt get my head around it today. WTF

I bought a Grand Prix Gxp and it 5% on the back and 30 on front so I took it to a local tint shop and had them match the back with the front they put there 5% on the front but it looks differnt a lttle more light and more reflective it also gives off a little blues look I took it back and they said if I can find out where it was done they can order that tint and put it on for free but the dealership said they might not be able to get a hold of the guy is there anything else I can do?

The back glass on this is huge... A local sign guy tried to hack this piece out using three seams of sungard... Needless to say I did the rollups for him today and I told him to take the film off the back and I would tint it with Llumar ATR. Anyhow, will a 36" roll work on this glass? The glass measures 35" from top to bottom in the middle. Not sure if 36" roll will cover the outside of the glass... I'm thinkin' no FB

hey all, Tinted a g6 (4dr) today. I left the dang ignition on & the battery died, no big deal hooked up the charger & slowy charged the battery back up before custy showed up. They came picked up the vehicle & 20 minutes later they were back saying my radio isn't working I told them the battery was getting low so we hooked up the charger to keep it charged up so I was thinking it needed a code or something but that wasn't it. The radio buttons were no longer working but the steering wheel controls were ! The only buttons on the radio that worked were the power button, when you tried to change the source to cd it flashed "cd changer error" it would not even eje…

Hi Ive been around tint for like 2 years now, but I only do this occasionally when I'm asked. I'm doing a 94 bonneville this week (again) and I need some tips for the rear window. I tried tinting this car once already, but had no luck. the back window was a pita to shrink. Any other tips on tinting this car? On another topic, I've been reading about people removing the gasket on the side doors... how do you do this? It would make life so much easier! thanks!

Hello Everyone, I am new to tinting but I have done a few cars but I usually stay away from the dot matrix. I am doing tints on a 04 GTO for a friend and all the damn windows have dots around them. I did the passenger side small rear window and it came out like crap and then I did the drivers side small rear window witth the glue trick and it came out much nicer but took forever because the dots go around the entire window...Do you guys usually cover these small matrix dots on the side windows or should I just trim the tint down before them and paint them? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. THANKS! -Keith

Nothing was written about this in the makes/models section: Does anyone know how to get this thing out? can it be done? (I'm referring to the brakelight in the rear window.) I might just have to use the bulldozer 'cause I can't even get the rear deck out without creating some major stress. Thanks!

"The Pontiac G6 is offered with a new 3.5-liter V-6 engine, rated at 200 horsepower and 220 lb.-ft. of torque - more standard power and torque than the base Audi A4 or BMW 3 Series, but less than the V6 equivalents of its Japanese midsize competitors. The engine has broad power bands that produce stirring performance for low-rpm acceleration and high-rpm responsiveness. Technical innovations, including electronic throttle control, enhance the connection between driver and car." This is from the new TopSpeed review of the 2007 G6. It is quite big, so you might wanna have a coffee near Also there are a few auto-show videos featuring the G6, as well as a big image gallery…

Vibe
by Guest Johnny5104- 7 replies
- 4.1k views
When doing the pontiac vibe's back glass the hatch lifts up and the mechanisms that lift the glass are in the tinting area. I found two ways to remove these parts. The first is to just detach the bar from the back.. This can be done using a simple small flat head screw driver and a little elbow grease (these are a bit more difficult to put back on and must be slid from the top rather then how they were taken out) I can get pictures if you have questions but it should be pretty easy once you look at it. Tthis still causes that problem of trying to cut a circle around the two areas. The other option is to remove the bolt on the window. I had the owner do this for me and…

What is an established commercial/residential business worth?
Looking to buy an established commercial/residential business. The company has grossed about 50-60k annually for the past few years. There's not really anything as far as assets go. So I'd basically be buying the phone number and 25+ years of being an established business. Just trying to get an idea of what I should be paying! Thanks in advance!! -

Removable rigid window tint sheets - WTF?
I created an account just to respond here. I'm not a "tinter" or whatever yall may call yourselves but I came across this product and thought that it looked pretty cool and something I could do myself. I ordered from Lazeway and spent like $150 for two packages. The product is from China although they claim all this America stuff on the website. All i received was two simple rolls of tint, nothing special. I was totally scammed and now I'm looking all over the internet for anyone talking about this product to let them know. Dont buy from them.- 2

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you -

Process
Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?
