Default Rear Window Tint

Thinkin about getting the rear window tinted and I remember seeing a piece that just goes in kinda like plexi glass. I think Ecklers has it . Not sure right now as I am away from my mags at the moment but does anybody have that or are you familiar with it? Want some input on it as it seems to me that its gonna be pretty hard to find someone that will tint this and get it right with the rear defroster and all.

I've heard the panel rattles against the window with the tops off, as For tinting It won't be a problem with the defrost. I've seen it many times, even on vettes.
I'd recommend the real stuff.

Its kind of a pain in the rump to get in but it stays in well,
It looks real good outside and in.
I wish those targa top things would be good but noone likes them when they get one.

I had one for about a year and sold it.

For the same amount of $ you can get real tinting. And, heat rejection, UV protection.

The pop-in does neither. It's just dark. Does nothing for lights in rear either.
