I don't remove the deck, we slide film in behind and use a "whale tail".....

Actually it's a yellow fin! Works great on almost all the 300s. But every now and then one of the 300s is too tight behind the brake light to use even a red devil.

I can never slide the tint behind those, their ALWAYS too tight. Either remove the deck or cut around...I've done both.

10mm bolt at bottom of two side bolsters. Put panel puller through black metal thing on top and slide behind & in a coming down motion to squeeze a clip to release bolster. The deck then slides out and place behind you between front seat and rear thats folded down.

:ppdance fold down the seats and you'll see the bolts ~5" up from the bottom, take em out. There might be two plastic clips on facing the front of the car, some have them some don't. Then use some sort of strong flat tool, like a spackle knife to push down behind the top of the side bolsters. It's tricky the first time, and takes a lot more force than you would expect. You can pull it back at the top to see whats going on if you would like. Throw those in the trunk once you get them off, and then the whole back deck will just slide forward once you untuck the sides from the C-pillars. Put it kind of in front of the folded down rear seats where your feet would go with the center seat belt still going through it. Then the light has a two more bolts on it and it will slide off. Don't remember off the top of my head what size those are. To reassemble everything just pops back in.

There's a great thread about this (complete with pics by Tint Wizard) in the Chrysler subsection. I'm too lazy to look for you but it's there, helped me out last week with one where the brake light was too tight to the glass. Go look for it.

they seem to vary a lot. some of them will have miles of room and some will have none.

      TintX Puremax and Koolmax

      All Right cool. I've been practicing with an inexpensive tint I found on amazon. Its called Rockrose. I'm just about ready to make some cards to pass around to get clientele. I've been debating if I should start with Puremax cuz its a lot cheaper or Geoshield cuz of the great quality I've heard of. I'll probably go with Geoshield so I can make it easy on myself and make sure I do great quality work for my customers. Are you already doing doing jobs for customers? If so, did you stop using the Puremax and now only use Geoshield?

      Heavy Ghosting - Geoshield "Geo" Line

      Ghosting week require a smoother, more even and spread out shrink. Look at my old "ryk shrink" using 2 heart guns with an over/under setup. That would be my suggestion.

      Heavy Ghosting - Geoshield "Geo" Line

      Hey all, I am not a pro tinter but more or less just someone who likes to experiment / DIY. Wanted to ask if there was anyone here who has used the Geoshield "Geo" line for automotive purposes? I really like the color, but I get really bad ghosting for anything that requires decent shrinking. The film is specced as architectural, but has a PS adhesive so some use it in auto applications. I sent an email to see if that is the reason why it's for flat glass .. lol This is a sputtered TiN film and has a beautiful color imho. This reminds me of Huper Optik, and not quite sure but I think Johnson had a line called "InsulatIR" that I could never get my hands on to try. The film has a slightly purplish reflection (TiN I guess), when put on green auto glass, filters out and looks super neutral. ❤️ I've had it on my auto for a while but my rear window is a mess when the sun hits it (ghosting) and was curious if this is just not suitable for auto Any info would be appreciated. Skill issue, ie: shrink with lower heat? lol Thanks.

      chameleon window tint good quality

      If you don't mind trying to source some, there is a large Japanese manufacturer that makes a bunch of dichroic - looking films. It might be your style, but it would be hard to get your hands on some. https://www.braintec.co.jp/filmlab/ I believe some of the films do have decent heat-rejection, but because of the nature of the films, looking through them can be really funky. They are well-known in Japan and would likely be of decent quality. Also, very expensive. Depending on where you are, shipping would also be $$$.

      TintX Puremax and Koolmax

      I feel the difference in quality with geoshield. Not only is it easier to peel the liner off but shrinking feels better and I think the material feels slightly thicker(helps with not creasing) Only downside that the price noticeably different. For mainly everything Its atleast another 100 on top of for example stuff from tints Lexen. I haven’t tried solarfree either.

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      At least twice, yes. Although since we don't know what vehicle it is you're planning to tint, that was a bit presumptuous of me.
