Make sure you only tint the ones you're allowed to.....unless you like being pulled by PC Plod every day!

do you need to remove the windows for tinting or just clamber inside and do it?

Depends on how decent a job you want doing.

i would definately suggest removing the windows so then you are less likely to have bubbles and rippels in the film.

would be better having it profeshionaly done.

the rear side windows take 2 mins to get out, front side windows take about 10 mins to get out, id say having a friend to help is easier mind.

rear window isnt done on mine as i need to cut the film out into strips as thats apparently the best way to do it.

to do the rear it is possible to shape the fim to the right contour using a hot air gun. with the film laid on the outside of the rear window. i have never done it but seen it done lots of times. we had a mobile tinting company that done jobs for us at a car parts shop i worked at, that is the way they did it

Taking the windoes out is the best way to do it, thats how i did mine.

I advise you to get the best quality film you can, pay a lil bit more and it will last longer, also the better stuff will shrink a lot better for the rear window.
