I just bought tint films to install on my windows.
It is 35% 1.2mm thick...paid $30
I do have some experience since I did tints on my 2 other Hondas...

Do I need to remove door panel to install window tint?

How do I remove rear window brake light? I don't think I can fit a credit card in there since the brake light looks larger....

Personally I don't really want to remove door panels.....

 

Gotta remove the panels to get behind the tweeters!

 

Yup my tint guy had to remove my door panels. No worries....they snap back into place.

 

As mentioned above the door panels have to come off to properly tint the windows. They removed mine when I got it tinted, but they go right back in place.

 

maybe get a big *** binder and use that for the back brake light.

 

I had my windows tinted over a year ago and they did not remove my door panels, and I have not had any problems

 

thank you all for the advise

I guess I will try to take the door panels out. If I can't figure out how to (newbie), I will just try to tint windows without removing it...since one window tint is like $4 only including shipping, I will give a shot.

btw I tried to tint my other LS430 without removing door panels a week ago.
The edge near the side mirrors were really hard. I messed up passenger front window but I did good on driver's side.

Maybe I should've just took my car to tint shop...$250....
....closest shop was 40miles away....

amazingly simple once u take off the first door. just be careful the green or blue clips can break easily.

 

don't forget to reset the windows individually, otherwise, the driver's side controls won't work

 

That's how they did mine. Looked great after installation.
