Window tiniting

[Saint Steve]

If you see a photo of a tinted rear glass on a mk5 golf, you maywell be put off. It will leave a white Ring around the edge due to its shape and black dotted edge print.

Tint the side glass, but put in Tinted Rear glass imo.

If I found some second hand factory tinted windows could I install them yourself? Is the rear window bonded to the hatch?

The rear hatch screen is bonded in - and you'd need to make sure that the person who removed it from an existing car was accurate with the cheese wire, without damaging the heater elements or the radio antenna.

Or do what I did - just paid my insurance glass excess!

here are some pics of my car with after market tinted windows showing the white line, which to me isn't so bad and I've lived with it for three years!
