    How to remove the rear side windows and the windscreen? I wanna tint all the windows in the back

    Sadly, its illegal to tint the front windows where i live...
    Is it hard to take out the windows yourself?

    to take the side rear windows out you have to pop off the door panels, lower the window and you should be able to see how the glass is held in. The rear windscreen requires you to pop the trim molding off from the clips first. Don't forget to disconnect the rear defroster. The glass is held on with a sealer like silicon.
    Are you really sure you want to go down that road? A pro will have it done for you in 2 hours and cost you ~ $150 or less.

    Thanks! I will probably try that. Just need to wait for perfect weather, its like London here now...
    Trust me, where I live - a pro wont do your rear window for less than $400... but that's average rate +/- $100

    $400! Wow, that's ugly.
    You could stop by one of those windowshield replacement shops. They are mostly independents who might subcontract out for the big name glass. Anyway they might be willing to help remove/install or help consult the rear even though they aren't providing the glass

    I know its crazy. Sadly, it's a average price around the whole country. But hmm! Probably I can take a drive to Sweden to tint the glass, everythings cheaper there

    If you break the rear glass while removing it, that $400 will look awfully cheap.

    u most likely will bust the blass bc its tempered, i use to work for safelite auto glass, and we rarely took RnR jobs like that, pulling out the glass and putting it back on there, almost not worth it man, good luck though and more power to you if u succeed, not impossible, but its pretty crazy
