Rear window tint

[DEdney1775]

I'm currently installing a diy hardtop liner. While I'm working on it, I wondered about tinting the rear windows even darker. Like, as dark as possible. Has anyone else done those pre-cut online tint shops?


I NEVER use the 2 side rear windows. I've actually considered just painting them black.

Any opinions/tint suggestions on this?

If your talking about just tinting the windows in the hardtop, that's probably $100 at a professional tint shop. At least around here. Good results with a DIY kit are hard to get. Good luck and post pics if you do try...

Just get them tinted. Black paint would be so ugly and it would eventually flake. It would be a mess and it would smell.

If you want them blacked out, I would suggest a vinyl wrap over the glass. Inside would look best. If you want tint, limo/5%. In either case, pay a pro to do it.

Also, can’t recall who makes it, there’s a hatch kit that replaces the windows with solid covers. Gives you easy access to the cargo area.

This for sure. And as far as swapping out the glass to make it useful, then get a Rebel Offroad black out window storage. Might as well get storage out of it lol

I did as dark as possible and used the UV heat block tint from my buddies shop. Cut down heat over 40%.

This is probably the route I'll go. @T4STE That blackout kit, while cool, just isn't quite in my budget..

The UV tint works really good you will be surprised how much heat it blocks. I have clear on the windshield as well

what the heck is uv tint???

damn near all tint products today block 99% of uv

what you are looking for is a ceramic tint because they are known for their heat rejection.

highly suggested.

PS. if it is just your rear side back windows a monkey could tint those, since they are extremely flat. don't need a pro.

yes it takes a slight amount of practice.
