Default Rear window tinting...

I am in the process of replacing the rear carpet that the color was "bleached" out due to the sun. Has anyone tinted their rear window, and if so what did you use and how is it holding up. :smash:

I tried a spray can tint on a convertible back window (that was ruined by a reknowned body man while he was working on my car) and it produced the same opaque tint that the current "cling on" plastics give to everything you look at. I have a 5 inch band of cling-on across the top of my Pontiac Vibe windshield. It's not pretty but it does stick without adhesive - so you can remove it for judging/shows and put it back. I think JCWhitney lists the stuff in varying degrees of tint - along with various sizes. :cool:
