Does anyone know how to take out the windows for tinting

thanks

 

You don't need to take the windows out to tint them.

 

Yeah you do to get a good tint on your windows you have to get the windows takeing out to tint them no can someone tell me how to take out the windows thanks

 

Who will ever know the difference? So why waste ur time.

 

If you really must then they are pretty self explanatory. Take off the door panels and voila! Access to the windows.

 

kinda weird and a total waste of time but goodluck

 

what the hell is the point of all that, its like cleaning chroming your transmission or anyother part of the car you can't see, whats the point.

 

I have my windows tinted and if I were to do it again, I would also remove the windows. When you roll down the window, you see where the tint ends and the clear window begins. It kinda bugs me.

You got a bad tint job.

 

if u want it to look perfect and cover the entire gass, u woud need to remove it

 

Incorrect...I had my windows tinted at EIP Tuning in Westminister, Maryland, and they did not remove my windows. Mine are absoluetly 100% perfect. No bubbles, and the entire glass is covered, and I mean to the absolute top. You're better of just paying a place 100 bucks to do it right and warranty it. But if you're going to doit yourself, I still wouldn't bother taking out the windows. Either way, good luck!

 

It is not possible to get any closer without removing the glass. Some of the glass rolls into the rubber in the window.

A properly tinted window is tinted down there too. All you have to do is pull back the lip. THE WINDOWS DO NOT HAVE TO BE TAKEN OUT TO TINT THEM!!

 

The shop I went to pushed the rubber strip down and tinted below it. Sad part is they did not go all the way to the tippy top, just a hair short of the top.

 

since this topic is up, is it possible to get windows dipped, or can that only be done when the glass is formed.

 

If you don't leave a micro edge, you risk the edge becoming frayed and starting to peel. Ultimately, most, including the pro's will leave a small edge untinted but that should not detract much.

If doing it yourself, it is not the sides that you should worry about. It is the back. Even split up into multiple pieces, it is dang hard. For the side windows, because the tops and sides are bordered by a generous rubber seal, I would definitely take down the door panels. Otherwise, all four edges have rubber barriers and you might run into problems trying to slip the precut tint down. If you don't have precut tint and plan to cut the sizes from sheets--good luck! The four rubber barriers make it hard to size up your cuts with any precision...

 

ok tinting instructions:

1)clean inside and outside of windows with lint free cloth/sparkle glass cleaner

2)then blade the inside of the window to get any of the stickers/stick $hit off the glass

3)cut a piece of tint larger than the window itself(soak window with soapy water to allow movement for correct fittment)

4)lay the tint over the outside of the window and cut it to proper shape and then using a plastic puddy knife tuck in the rubber molding(where window meets the door)

5)then once your happy with the shape/size peel back the clear film off the tint

6)now soak the inside glass with soapy water, take the tint(sticky side out and lay it on the glass from the inside)

7)now align the film exactly where you want it from the inside. **the window should be partially rolled down

8) cut off any extra tint using an exacto knife, work the tint downward with a squeegee till the tint goes below the rubber

9) now you need a heat gun and a larger plastic puddy knife,
take the heat gun from the outside of the glass and go over the entire window heating it up and pushing out any excess water/air from the tint.

10)once you think you have done a good job, move onto the next window

11) goodluck with the back window though, that requires you to streach the tint out so it forms to the curve of the rear window(kinda hard if your not a pro)

12) repeat steps 2-9 again and do the back window

or

pay the $120 and have it done by a professional in under 2hours with a lifetime warranty!

goodluck post pics when your done,

I have my windows tinted and they were done by a professional, and yes there is a gap in between the top of the glass the edge of the tint.... There is a reason for this!!! Everytime you roll up the window the top of the window goes in the rubber setting and rubs against the top of the glass, a tint shop sets the edge of the film to the bottom of the rubber gasket so the only thing the gasket touches is the glass. If you put film up to the top of the glass, eventually the tip of the film will get caught and start to peel back.....

$120.00? Not bad. I think it is around $180 near me with lifetime warranty at a place called Tint King. Or if you goto the Honda/Speed shops it is like $200 with a two year.
