Cheers for the info!

I purchased that roll from Lowe's a few weeks ago. Carefully measured... cut a template... trimmed here and there... concluding with a near perfect piece of squeegee-on-tint.

I couldn't pull the trigger. I'm talking about the trigger of the bottle of water I was holding... to spray under the tint... onto my precious vinyl window.

Recalling the stories I've read about the tint... the heat and sun of SoCal... I abandoned the notion choosing to wait instead for when the top needs replacement then opting for an actual glass top.

If you do install it please report back the condition of the vinyl after a few months.
