I was wondering can the corrola's back glass be tinted without removal of the rear deck. And if not what am I miissing,

I have removed all screws, pushed the plastic retainers up in the rear deck. The deck moves up and down but will not come out. Question: Do I have to pull the side panels out and if so any tips as how not to break anything.

I'm an old aircraft mechanic and used to puling on Titanium panels, they don't break just fllex a little

no ....you can get a lot of thin squeegees in there

that light is not nearly as tough as the newer civics

you should be able to pull one of the rear side panels to get the deck out if need be

A bulldozer works well for those without removal.

If you want to take the shelf out, you have to take the C pillar covers off. Remove the door trim edging and then pop the four or five plastic push pins with a long pry bar. ( or just yank it ) Be careful on the pass side one as it has an electronic box behind it. The brake light wire has a white connector on the right side under the shelf, that you will see. I don't remember but that will not come out of the vehicle without removing a seat belt. Just roll it forward onto the floor. :coffee

Apologizes, for taking so long to reply but I don?t like posting anything online from my other job. That said, Thanks for the ideas, I have already picked up a bulldozer and some panel removal tools, Lisle tool corporation makes 5 or 6 different panel/ door tools (all available from Northern Tool) at a reasonable price.

Thanks :lol2

On this same topic..........

Is there anything weird about the glass along the top of a current-model Corolla back glass????

I saw one today......(05/06).......that was silver & had EXTREMELY reflective tint on it. (I didn't really like it as I prefer NR, but I guess this person liked it).

Anyway, it had the name of the tint shop in the small rear-quarter glass, but as it passed me slowly in the other lane, I noticed the top of the rear back glass had about 6 or 7 vertical lines that were about 3 or 4 inches long coming from the top down. Definitely looked like separation there as the bubbles left by the lines weren't just like *defroster* thickness................they were like 1/2" or more thick!!!!

WTF is that all about??????

      Cracked glass

      The crack indicates thermal stress, however, the edge of the glass may have an imperfection (bur or clam shell chip). The crack does run 90 degrees out from the edge and curves as it follows any weaknesses in the pane itself. I have attached a pictured of what tempered glass looks like when it breaks and alongside it what a plate (or float) and heat-strengthened glass looks like when it breaks. The outer panel my be tempered should indicate so by a stamp etched on the glass surface in one corner. It should indicate tempered. Plate glass has no indicators, however, heat-strengthened glass will crack in the same manner as plate glass. I'm an unsure whether heat-strengthened glass requires a stamp. Tempered glass is 4 times stronger than plate and heat-strengthened is 2 times stronger than plate. 1 in 24 is indicative of edge imperfection. I could not find the solar absorption rate of DN 50, but if it is similar to competitive films, there should be no issue with that installation setting (including a straight line shadow). This, too, points back to edge imperfection as the cause. And finally, I spy drapes in a close position, correct? If so, it would be helpful to crack open during sun exposure; this to assist in allowing trapped heat between the glass and drapes to dissipate.

      Cracked glass

      Hello. I recently installed Johnson Daylight Natural DN 50 on a couple of windows. Solar energy rejection is 39%. The windows are double pane and the glass is supposed to be tempered 4mm + tempered 6mm. The roof overhang shades the top 1/3 - 1/2 of the windows. However, a few days after installation I noticed that one of the glass has cracked, presumably due to thermal stress. Should I remove the film from the rest of the windows? I installed the film on 24 of these windows (6 tiny houses) so now 1 out of 24 is broken. Or is it more likely that I just got unlucky and the glass had a defect? Is shading from the roof overhang such a big factor? The glass cracked. Is it really tempered? I thought tempered glass would shatter, but not crack. Thanks!

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Take a look at 3M's Nightvision or LLumar's Dual Reflective series, they both have a warm tone to them.

      Steer clear of Black Armour, Suntek, ASWF. The others are good choices if you are in Australia. Check out the reviews of the installer too. It’s not just the materials that have to be proper. Never go for the cheapest!!!

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Hey guys I am in the process of having window film installed in my home but have a question about which brand I should go with. Hoping yall can help me out. I have a room that faces a busy street and as a result my blinds pretty much always stay closed. I love having natural daylight but not so much people being able to see what i'm doing in my room/all my expensive equipment. I used to work in the window film industry as a helper/installer/salesman when I was in highschool and we did a lot residential/commercial work. The specific brand of film we used always left a certain blue and cool appearance. Is there any brand of residential film that does not have this effect? I mainly just cannot stand having blue light amplified and am looking for a film that has a neutral shade to it or even a warm/yellow hue. I have single pane windows and I do not necessarily care about heat rejection but if I have to pay more for a ceramic film rather than a dual reflective or a standard film I am willing to if that helps solve the issue. Again, any help is really appreciated with this there are so many new window film brands out there and it really is cool to see how far the industry has come.

      LLumar, 3M and Solargard have in the industry as far back as the genesis of window film mid-1960's). Solargard is the younger of the three and all others came to play in the last 20 or so years. I've had all three on my vehicles over the years and my current is 3M Crystalline on my Jeep since 2015. It still has stable color, scratch coat is holding strong and impeccable adhesive clarity. Never been garaged. My choice toady would be 3M or LLumar.

      Hook up with Glassy Business and get all the ins and outs of pro vs DIY with window film. That company goes back way before my retirement in 2015. I want to believe they are/were a Vista Film dealer and I cannot remember the owner's name. Peace out.
