Skooby Donating Members 398 Member For: 18y 6m 8d Location: Phillip Island Posted 01/03/07 01:05 PM Share Posted 01/03/07 01:05 PM Hi all.I've noticed over the summer period that the rear window tint is bubbling. Being the 2nd owner of the car, I can't be certain, but I assume that the tint is a factory job.Does anyone know the costs involved of having the tint stripped and new tint added? I notice that The Tint Professor will do this service but there are no costs on their website.PS: I'll have the entire car re-tinted instead of a patch job.

It's $265 to have the car tinted from stock including pickup and delivery (which doesn't apply to me because I live in the country).I would strip it myself but I am concerned with the demister on the back window..Thanks guys Edited 02/03/07 02:09 PM by Skooby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had mine done by the Tint Professor and they have to put a different type of tint on the read window because of the radio aerial being built in there. Is is a non-metallic tint. Luckily the tint professor has a life-time warranty so I think (and hope) I can get it fixed for nothing because $100 for just a back window is a bit rich when the whole car only cost $265, but it was 3 years ago.I think most reputable places would give a lifetime warranty. Perhaps you could find out from the previous owner where they got the tinting done. I stand to be corrected, but I believe the factory is very light and actually in the glass at manufacture so therefore could not bubble. Only an after-market tint is the film type that could bubble.
