Window Tinting

hi guys.  :)  i was just wondering how easy the rear door glass comes out of a mk1 galaxy as im planing on tinting mine and removing them to make it easier?. also is there any way i can make templates for the tail gate and rear pop out windows to make the job easy. cheers guys  B)

you could try cutting some thin card as a template.

I tried years ago to tint my Ford escort... And it was a great job until i undid the windows  :closedeyes: 

 

Good luck with this and please post piccys.

 

I would suggest removing the glass wherever possible, as apparently this makes a huge difference.

 

cheers :48:

to do tints spray the exterior of the window with soapy water now place the film onto the exterior of the window so the clear backing is facing in on the car and cut the film with a sharp knife, do it close to the rubber but not too close make sure you dnt cut it square corners must be rounded. Make sure the interior side is clean and i mean clean use a stanly blade to clean all crap off glass you will need a hair dryeryer also wen applying film also i dnt recommend a heat gun i have melted sheets a fair few times :)
