Has anyone had their back glass tinted?

It seems that the amount of glass and the curves would make this difficult without seams and wrinkles, but it sure would be nice to reduce the heat gain through that thing! I'd need to remove the defroster (which has too many breaks to fix anyway) but can a tint shop do a decent job of it?

I’d guess the best way to do it would be to  remove the rear glass and apply the film with the glass on a stand upside down… a lot of extra work though!

I wondered that too. Maybe take it to the shop that does the work and get their opinion. How about the side windows, anyone done that and had good results? Mike

Side glass & 1/4 windows (and vent wings) should not be a problem… even for the home mechanic… however, the rear glass is something entirely different!

If anyone does decide to push out the rear window… I’d order a weatherseal ahead of time

The last Avanti rear glass I replaced ( I’ve done two) definitely needed a new weatherseal.
