Default is it possible to tint rear plastic window?

I already can barely see out the window due to haziness so I was wondering if it is possible to tint the plastic window and at least make it look decent.

first try to clean the plastic with Plexol or maguyer's (sp) plastic cleaner.. should look as good as new when done

second yes you can tint it with static tint

Contact Tim @ Stonegard in GA (770-907-8229), he has a pattern cut for the window. It is made of a tinted plastic equivalent to a colorform. It matches a 20% tint. Have it on my car looks/ works great!
Try Plexus for the haze. Cleans up like glass! Any motorcycle shop carries it. Just ask for it by name.
Hope this helps.

I had the same problem. I used Plexus and got the window really clear. Then I went to Home Depot and purchased static-cling window tint. I cut it myself, without a pattern. Looks great and took 30 minutes.

If you have a hard time seeing out of it now, you will probably lose any visibility you have left when you tint it.

Try Meguiars and plexus first.
