FORD FIVE HUNDRED

oldtinter · October 25, 2005

They called it the 500 because that's what it will be worth 2 years from now.
I wouldn't worry about the felts on something that isn't going to outlast the film

For the Ford Five Hundred Back window dont bother trying to take out the third brake light you have to take a part damn near the whole back seat and C-pillar and everything apart to do it. I looked it up in a repair manual. Im still new to tinting but trust me ITS NOT WORTH TAKING EVERYTHING APART. I did one today and was able to slide the film behind the third brake light no problem until I realized I diddnt have the tools to squeeze out the water behind it. my recomendation for this car is 1 of 3 options 1.slide it behind the light 2.cut the rubber bumpers between the light and glass 3. cut around the light.I did this on my first 500 that I did and it looked fine. both times ive tinted these cars ive done it in two pieces cause they are a difficult one piece for me being new and all.

:lol2

How the hell do you get the brake light outta these things
Even if I cut it out, theres still two rubber nubs in the way. I tried sliding the tint by those nubs and damaged it in the process I could always cut it a little higher above the nubs, but that would leave a light gap visible from the drivers seat... unacceptable.

I have already broken all 4 plastic screws that come thru the top of the trunk (whatever, replaceable) . Ive tried prying it every way possible with no luck .

This was such an easy car to tint too- god damn ford design team can suck my nuts- why make a rear brake light so hard to take out??? what if the light burnt out?

I dunno, but im going to lose it soon- damn cars due first thing in the am.

Any help?- It would be appreciated.

if you pop the little rubber bumpers out of the brakelight, then you can tint behind the light easier than a honda civic. Just use your bulldozer tools.

Hi all. Just stumbled across this site and this thread...just wanted to add my 2 cents. I've only done a couple of 500's, and didnt have a problem with them...BUT.... Here is what my tech site said about them ....

that there is a wire from the brake lite to the computer that can be disrupted, disturbed or broken. If in fact it is broken, there is a real possibility of fire.

Hope this helps!
