Trying to remove the rear wiper arm so I can shrink the back glass and can't figure out how to get the arm off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Got one comin in on friday. The rear glass looks reminiscent of the older camaros, corvettes, etc. but doesn't tear drop of dovetail at the bottom. Anybody done one yet? I'm not expecting anything crazy.

Got to see it up close this week, although I did not tint it yet. If your not familiar with Porsche, and you plot your window tint, it will appear that the previous yrs kit will work. The vehicle is pretty similar to the older models, and the windows are all in the same shape. Do Not Plot the older model, all the windows have been changed. The front doors are shorter in length and a bit taller. Back doors are about 1 in wider and taller. The rear 1/4’s are smaller and they made those little front 1/4’s bigger. Also the door panels resemble the Panamera now, with the Torx screws behind the trim piece. Looks to be a 1 piece gasket all the way around, but it does have a felt…

I haven't seen the car yet...the client is saying he has bucket seats that do not tilt forward. Has anyone had any issue applying film to the back windows because of the seats being immobile?

Not done one of these before so i thought i'd share…. tailgate's a bit tight so i removed the rear trims(easy peasy) door card removed has to be the easiest ever, torx screw behind handle pull, and the whole card lifts up,i rested it on the bottom "tags" to save unplugging all the cables which still gave good access to the glass. the weather strip is all one piece so just pulled it out of the way.. ps the glass is soft so may score when cutting template BEWARE

Hey guys, Had a customer with a few race cars call me up saying he has a dark film on his GT2 and wants it removed I did tell him there's small chance of demister being damaged and he doesn't want to risk that (99% of the time demisters are fine as I steam I trash bag the rear screen) what are these demisters like? has anyone had to remove film before? last thing I want is to be up for a new genuine rear screen but if I successfully do this job it opens future opportunities with this customer. regards, Brendan

so my buddy has a car audio shop and for some reason has come upon 3 of these. I tried one piecing with raygaurd at first but it wasnt taking the heat just wanted to melt near the end, so I did my first seam with marathon and it came out great for a old crappy window I think. I steel wooled the defroster lines, razored the old black paint that was left and pressure washed the crap out of it. lol. the vynil outside of the glass on top is because someone used put clear silicon bead along the top edge and it looked kinda weird, probably to seal a water leak. still gotta do the rest of the car but should be pretty easy compared to the back. gonna try one piecing one of the ot…

Stumbled on this one out of a panic yesterday... If you want to get the little windows up with the top down, just put your finger in the spot where the top hook latches when it goes up. Stick your finger in there ( you will feel the lever that the hook hits) and then push the window button. The quarter windows will go up because your finger makes the car think the top is up. Sorry I didn't get a picture.

They added small windows in front of the doors kinda like a Bentley. Just a heads up in case you price this without seeing it first. Not terribly hard, but more work = more $.

The last one I did got rear ended and totaled, so he picked up this super nice one and swapped his V8 and everything over to it. Sadly it didn't have tint. AirBlue 80 on the windshield, 35 ATR CH on the doors and 20 ATR CH on the rears I was really sad finishnig up the backglass, it was immaculate, then I noticed some specs, peeld it back, put it back down, still there. Peeled it back again, grinding pits. A near perfect job and the BG is full of grinding pits on the driver's side.

just did one of these yesterday anyone have any tips on these side roll-ups? I read on here that someone removes the 2 fronts and does them but I'd rather not do this. seals are to hard to tuck and removing them is not an option since they are one piece all around. I got them done but I am expecting a possible peel since I am not too far below the gasket.

a back glass in 4 pieces
Last reply by lostinbama, -
I am new to this site and a new shop owner--but I'm not new to the tint game. I've been tinting windows for about 16 years and have only attemped one 944 backglass. I didn't get it finished and had to let it go with only the sides done, only because the shop I worked for wouldn't let me try it anymore. I wasted to much film. Now I have my own shop for the first time and what just happens to be my first car. Yep, a late 80's 944s. I mean come on. I've done a few sets of doors with front strips on a few trucks since I opened, but now my first actual car is this. The customer is a friend of mine and will be using the car to race in a stock class road course class. …

I got a custy that has a porsche 944 and needs the windows tinted I saw it and I feel it is possible to do but he said other shops wouldnt touch it because the glass was to soft for heating and would scratch when cutting the back glass. I wan't to do it just to say I have accomplished that car. I got the Vettes and Bugs down in one peice now im ready to step it up. I would appreciate it if any one could give me some heads up.

Technique is everything. Your side window preparation should go something like this: Spray the glass with soap solution. Razor blade the window to loosen contaminants. Spray the glass again. Scrub the window with a scouring sponge. Spray the glass again. WIPE THE WINDOW EDGES INCLUDING THE TOP OF THE GLASS with a clean rag or paper towel. Carefully squeegee the soapy water off the window in a pattern that zig zags sending the contaminated water downwards and overlaps by an inch to ensure correct coverage, and make sure your squeegee blade is leaning forwards at an angle so you don't leave a trail behind. Flush the vertical sides and bottom of the window to expel any residual dirty water. If you do this EXACTLY AS I SAY you will reduce the risk of getting crap under the film by 98% You can thank me later.- 1

^^^ great list of good habits. If your working on cars with rubber gaskets, roll down the windows first and spray them with SprayAway glass cleaner. Use a triangle card of some kind wrapped with a microfiber towel to scrub the dirt out and give it a couple squirts of water to flush it. Use the towel and triangle again when you're prepping the glass. Don't forget to scrub the top edge of the glass.- 1

It's important to prepare well, like taping felt to prevent the little particles from bleeding out, making sure to thoroughly clean the glass and sides, anywhere the film may touch. Also make sure the bottom flap is out of the way so that you can place the film with minimal manipulation. The more you have to move the film around to get it into position, the more chance you have of creasing it and or getting contamination. Also, make sure you touch the film adhesive side as little as possible. Having the glass ready so that you can handle the film well, without touching anything but the glass and not letting the film flop around or having to force it in somewhere. Another thing is that if there is any shrinking that needs to be done, do it before installing, as every time a finger pops up it brings a bit of dirt under with it. Work in a clean shop, mist the air around your work area right before pulling the liner also mitigates some of the airborne dust etc. -

Wassup everyone. I been practicing tinting on a few cars (mine and my family's) for about 2 months now and I feel like I've improved a lot since I first started. I do get these tiny bubbles around the edges sometimes. Can anyone give me any tips on how I can mitigate or eliminate these? (Ik its likely contamination but what can I do to improve my installation?) -

Residential Window Tint - Suntek SYDS vs. Solar Gard Slate vs. Madico Optivision
The first picture appears to be similar to a 25%. Front of house? The second picture with 2 shades pulled down should get 25%, especially if facing West. The third picture should get 45%. The compromise is lesser privacy, while providing greater incoming light (already shaded from patio overhead). Small samples provided by the dealer don't give you a good sense of what the film will look like once installed. There is too much light streaming in around the sample (when taped to the glass), making the film look darker than what it will look like installed. The best and most accurate way to see what it will look like, viewing out, is to use the sample as quasi-sunglasses by wrapping it around your face and eyes (to the point of no light leaking in). Now, look toward the window(s). Viola`, there's your tinted view. As to the tax benefit, do check with a pro tax person just in case they no longer have that program. I've been retired for almost a decade now.- 1

Residential Window Tint - Suntek SYDS vs. Solar Gard Slate vs. Madico Optivision
Wow thank you for the comment about the tax advantage. I'll definitely have this noted for my taxes. And thank you for the recommendation for Madico Optivision. For $47 more, I would not mind going with them after what you said. On that Madico proposal, I've been going back and forth about the Front Bedroom. These windows NEED to have a mirror like finish and I'm between the 25 and 35. The 25 is definitely very mirrorlike, but I'm afraid it might be too much for a set of windows facing the street, so possibly the 35 would be better? What are your thoughts? Attaching a picture of the front windows that currently have this Kespen tint I bought off Amazon. Which of the 25 or 35 would be closest to this finish? I'm okay with doing 25 on the Master Bedroom though since it's in the back of the house and facing West. I don't have any neighbors directly behind me due to it being a greenspace where a pipeline runs underground. I've had the samples up and keep going back to look at them, but it's sometimes hard to tell. I don't have a sample of the 45 for the living room, but I think that's as high as it goes, so I'm fine with 45 to allow max amount of natural light through.- 1
