yeah this is simple you get in the car and close the door. Then you just pull the fuse the window motors.

After 3 days you put it back in.

If you pull the fuse then you wouldn`t be able to open the door because the window is in the frame

+1!

For cars that have window indexing, they usually have a small "tab" that grabs the window after you shut the door when the window goes all the way up to help pull the window into the best placement for seal purposes. If you pull the fuse, when you open the door you'll be forcing the window past this "tab" and same when you shut the door.

In otherwords, dont pull the fuse. Go to a quality shop that's used to tinting cars with indexed windows.

What's the exact brand and quality level of tint you used?? How much did it cost? I am very interested in that look since I live in Miami and the sun is way too hot.. Also are those polished rims?

It was a local guy so I wil try and get the exact specs on who he uses for manufacturer if he wil share it - I think it was 20 and 30% and it is his life time tint..cost me 210. It was not limo dark on any window.......it actully looks more green when he unrolled it out until it is put it up against the car ...but the color of the glass makes it grey. the good news as well is the back window is less than 24" wide so it is one piece - it looks great.

Yes those are polished wheels.

THANKS for the compliments but I can't take all the credit
Tint sets the car off.
