Did you done the alpine windows? I had a mare of a job to fit them.

You've acheived a really good effect, I went: light smoke rear doors and dark smoke all the rest, even the rear sunroof!

If you are using the tint film you really dont need to take the glass out to do it, the stuff will cover completely and you just trim off the excess with a blade, just be careful with the blade round the heating wires on the glass

Post by: muddyjames on October 28, 2007, 17:37:26: I replaced the rear window rubbers in mine a few weeks back after finaly getting a mate after 2 years of having the new rubbers!!

It was a pig of a job to get the new rubbers back in. It took 2-3 screw drivers and alot of pushing of glass and hoping it didnt break!

I am wanting to tint my caravan windows to match the disco soon.

Most modern caravans have blacked out windows!

Post by: Range Rover Blues on October 30, 2007, 21:15:20: That look really good. I did the backof Blue a whie back, both to keep the dogs cooler and to stop himself doing the Vaudiville act back and forth across the LPG tank to bark out of the windows. Anyway the little monster has managed to make the edges of it all ragged and (appropriatley) dog eared.

Anyone used the tinting spray? is it any good. :?
