Please do post pics. I'm actually thinking of a green tint. Not because I like green but because the tint I'm interested in only comes in green. It's a 70%. I think factory glass is somewhere around 80% green, so it would be like about 2 layers of glass. Should not cause me trouble with the law. The tint I'm interested in is a spectrally-selective product called V-Cool which blocks about 50% of the total light but most of that is heat (infrared) and UV and only a little bit of the visible light.

I'm considering a legal NC tint, but can't decide whether to pull the trigger. I have a GAHH convertible top with glass rear window. How would the installer get to the glass to apply the tint?

Jeph, what did you do to facilitate applying the tint to the hardtop glass? Remove it and place it upside down on a protected surface? I assume you removed the top for the installer and replaced it when finished.

Thanks,

ddb

thanks for feedbacks...I really like the 20% black pics.....sweet. I would never dyi-i inquired prices, some of the local shops are asking 60 bucks a window I think that reasonable.
Adding tinted windows to my list once I get my baby back on the road....Come on SPRING!!!

Yes, I removed the hard top for the guy and it was propped upright while he put the tint on. I'm sure installers hate constant customer supervision, but I was there the whole time to watch the process. Partly because I wanted to see it done, and also because I didn't have ride home in the meantime.
