Hi I done mine myself limo black looks great rear screen took three attempts and still not happy with it. Make sure that you get the tint that shrinks and use a heat gun to shape it first on the outside and take your time at this point. I didn’t first time and ended up having to repair the heater element as it pulled it of when I removed the tint to start again.

Did my son’s Hi-Lux windows many years ago.

Take your time and make sure the windows are really clean, the best results we got was when we first cleaned the glass with a razor blade to get off the tiny bits stuck to the glass that cannot be removed by normal cleaning.

The best window we did was the rear one which we took outa d did it on a table.

Good luck

I imagine the OP has finished by now, he was attempting it more than four years ago.
