Window Tinting?
Been thinking about getting my windows tinted lately, but had one concern? With regards to the rear window how are they suppose to tint with the rear brake light not quite touching the glass and also with the sensor? Has anyone had their windows tinted and come across this...do they cut out a small piece of the tint to go over the entire rear light unit...or do they just tint over the rear light and sensor?

just re-tinted my windows .
I used the steamer method to remove the old factory tint.
called around and got quotes on tint. be sure to check the brand and types of film being used.
I ended up getting llumar
5% window brow
15% Driver/passenger front
5% sides and rear

when mine was done they did not remove it the just used the soap method. I wish I could get my tint that dark I would get pulled over all the time in my state. Nothing is legal in my state for tint, of course factory OEM being the exception to the rule
