Should be around $250. Around 50 a side and 75 to 100 for the rear. I had all of mine done for $250 with is was a little colder out. seems that the $ goes up when it's summer time.

Yeah about $250 - $300 bucks. I had mine done in 99. They actually use a heat lamp to apply the tint not soapy water. I think its worth a drive out here to check it out.

Sorry to hijack a bit but I got a question for ya guys...
Right now I have tint on my 3 rear windows. The tint on the back window (not doors) is blurry as hell. I am thinking about going to get tint done on all 5 windows but I will need the back 3 tint removed (1 blurry, and the door glass tint not dark enough) In your experiences, do tint shops usually charge extra to remove the existing tint when your buying full tint fromt hem...or is this simply something that I'll have to ask about since it may be a shop by shop diffrence? Any info or experiences are appreciated.

From my experience when I was looking to find a place around here to do my windows it would cost you extra. The range you can expect is around $100 for all around or $30 per.
Re: where to get window tint? - 06/14/06 05:17 AM
also becareful on having that back window tint removed, you do not want it to damage your defrost, living up here it is a necessity, unless it is only your summer driver. (i have heard it damages it..not from personal experience, this may be an urban myth, but if I recall my brothers no longer works after removing his tint)
Re: where to get window tint? - 06/14/06 05:45 AM
the lines can get cut if the person uses a razor blade to scrape off the glue. If it gets cut it will no longer work. Anyone that does tint for a living should know to use a "scrubbie" to get the glue off the back window.

I would think if it was removed properly, then it should come off with no problems to the defrost. I mean, I doubt they'd be back there with a razor blade. I'd suspect they would use a heat gun or a steamer perhaps to soften the adhesive, then maybe use a degreasing product to wipe off any adhesive left.
Besides, if they did my tint and removed/damaged my defrosting capabilities, I'd serve them a bill for damages.
