If its what I think( large back glass with pistons and its a hatch, wicked curve defrosters run top to bottom) do not bother with the one piece idea that cars is almost impossible (if not impossible) to do in one piece. in fact I 3 piece it. seam on each of the last defroster lines.

And dont try removing the pistons and tint behind the shock mounts because there is so much pressure on those thing that the tint ends up all F'ed up in like a week :jerkit

The top of the door panels pull up and off so the gaskets out of the way however you get a lot fingers in the door. Good Luck

If your talking about the same body style as the '02- '03 (with dot matrix on the top defroster lines run left to right like a Camaro) then forget what is said

OKAY the Deferoster lines are Verticle on this so YOU THREE peice it.

The back window is tough but doable in 1 piece. Take the shocks off and tint the whole thing. Then go back and cut out for the shocks at the button hole. Be sure to cut them oversize so that the film isn't under the button. You will have a small light leak all the way around that button, but if you use a socket as a pattern you will be able to have a perfect circle leak and it looks fine.

Front windows might need a little shrinking, but nothing to crazy.

Not my favorite to do.

Good Luck :thumb

wut method U USe to shrink the back glass.. is the WET SHRINK(GUS METHOD, which is on this page) DRYSHRINK(whichone babypowder or bounce).

AND TO JHONNY tint. THE TOP OF THE DOOR PANNEL's do the lift and pull like the MERCEDES S500,430,320, etc. JUST THE TOP BY YANKIN IT BACK AND UP......

We use a method that was taught to us by our 3M distributor. I guess you would call it a wet shrink, but its kinda a combination of wet and dry. No bounce or anything like that. We don't shrink fingers we lift the film off the glass and shrink/mould it to the glass. I am sure that makes no sence but we can shrink the hell out of the film this way. Made no sence to me until I saw it in person.

Once I figure out a way to illustrate it easily without taking up 4 pages I will. I have been wanting to show it as a "tip of the week".

No we don't "burn" the edges.

With this technique we do every window in one piece. :thumb
