It's not impossible to tint while on the car. But it is much easier to tint with the top removed. I had my hardtop removed when it was getting tinted -those roll bars make for quite an obstacle! I'd worry about the tint getting scratched or something while the convert. top was being re-installed.

I don't know why there's so much fuss over the defroster... is it hotter than other cars' defrosters? A professional tinting place typically knows what they're doing.
