The side windows look perfect, I did them yesterday. For it being my first tint job I was really impressed.

But now I have to do my rear window.

Anyone have tips for this? I really don't think I'll be able to pull this off in one sheet.

a van should just have square flat windows, easy...maybe offer some candy for help from the kids.

Might be worth getting a pro to do it if your rear window is somewhat curved. Also, you'll probably ruin your heater lines if you mess up and need to remove it.

Leave the liner on and have it up away from the glass on the outside. Spray the window with soapy water and put the tint on there. Trim it to fit. Then make the letter H using your squeegee. Then start shrinking. Use the heat gun on the 'fingers', right when they start to shrivel smooth with squeegee. Repeat until it's flat to the glass.

I have a pic or two of my Volvo that I did only the back window on, I'll upload them this afternoon if I remember.
