I put a new top on last summer. I still haven't tinted the rear window, and it's been driving me nuts every since.

As I said before, tint the winder.

When I replaced my top I had to tint the back to match the fronts ASAP because it looked really weird with out the tint in the back. The tint shop charged me $80 because they said it was hard to get to

I gave in but i was thinking $40 would have been fare for such a small and flat window.

I didn't, it's small and isn't as transluscent as the door glass so I left it alone. Looks fine.

I was expecting $40 too, but I called about 4 or 5 different shops and they all quoted me between $60 and $80. I decided to wait until I haven't done anything to the car in a couple weeks and have a hankering to modify something.

Did you guys have issues with the tint dispersing headlight shape at night on the defroster lines? I tinted my old s2k and didn't like not knowing what kind of car was behind me.
