I've done this before on a couple of cars but they were hatch backs. I just don't want to end up with a bubbled back window. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Thanks 6450 of 6535 6-16-98

Its a PITA especially on the back window, becuz if you want it GOOD, you will have to use one piece of tint...and that back window ain't so small. Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

I would recommend it too if you haven't done tinting too much. I did all four side windows myself since I have done about 10 other vehicles or so to save $200 but I left the big rear window to the people that offer lifetime warranties Alex 00 T-Red/Tan SVTC #1964/2150 167 HP @6800 153 TQ @3000 Sold- 98 'Tour SE 24V 5-spd 149 HP @5900 148 LB FT @4300

Just tint the 4 windows yourself and if you can't get the back window done, pay $60 like I did to get the rear window done right. It will be better in the long run.
