Default How many of you tinted your plastic window?

are you satisfied with the way it loos and you are still able to see out of it at night? or was it too hard to see out of that you took of the tint?

Works fine for me. The rear tint has been on since August 2001 with no problems whatsoever. I have never even changed it. I live in Florida so you know it takes a beating!

I just tinted. It looks okay. I really like the part about not having to get out and stick the tube in. The tint helps prevent creases. there is some distortion but better than some trucks high beams shining in your rearview mirror.

Mine is so so... probably cheap stuff I bought, and for the life of me I could not get all the bubbles out. But, it works. I like the tint so people behind you can't see you picking your nose.

No problems here. No bubbles. Works real good. Rear vision through it is OK at night (I got the lightest tint). I'll probably change it every spring when the hardtop comes off as it was just starting to lift at one place (about 1" along an edge) at the time I put the hardtop on. If it hasn't lifted anymore than that, I'll leave it.

I hope you guys are talking about static tint, I liked it until it started to come up, kinda annoying flapping in the breeze at 100mph. I had it on for four months, then took it off, and I have gotten used to the sides being tinted and the back not tinted, it doesn't look as dorky as I thought. I also didn't realize how distorted things were until I removed it. I don't think I will put it back on even though I kept my pattern. Just my .02
