Default hatch tinting? a ***** n a half right?

Well I've always done my windows myself, i've never had anything professionally tinted. I'm really thinking about it on this back window though, i have no clue how to go about it because of the curves. I almost want to take it off to do it lol. Does anyone have any tips for this pita? the fronts will be no problem but the back.. oh god...

Well after calling around some tint shops and asking the tinters how the would go about tinting my car the idea I like the most was cutting the film to the size of the hatch from the outside, heating up the window, then putting on the film. I would leave it to thepros that do nothingelse aside from tinting windows allday. If you heat the window up it will stick nicely andthe heat will get rid of the air bubbles. Other options are doing it in sections, or to cut it into strips and hide the seams on the defrost strips. I believe that the rear hatch for me with high quality25% installedis around $80-$90. The side windowsshoulddefinatly be easier. What percentage tint are you going with?
