BIG difference from before. I think the previous window tint was a worthless 95% tint. Now, you can see out but you CANNOT see in. Just how I like it. Tinting windows is actually very easy. This van is the first vehicle I have tinted the windows on personally, and I doubt I will ever pay the money to have someone else tint my windows again. The most important thing is to get the windows and work area absolutely SPOTLESS. I am probably going to retint most if not all of the windows when I pull them to paint the van in the future, but for now, they are OK. Before: After:

This means less or no more whistling going down the freeway.

I plan to tackle tinting mine once again, i swore off doing my own windows on the last s-10 i had. I may just have to give it a try again, only thing i like about paying to have it done is the lifetime warranty.

A bunch of bubbles appeared overnight. I think I might just pull the windows and take them in loose to a tint shop when the time comes.

A couple of bubbles didnt move very well, they used a pin to let the air out & did the hair dryer thing again..

Harder to shatter metal, too!
I see the brother's van has the street van wheels. Would he consider selling them? | | | Re: How to tighten up loose vent window latches on your Dodge van | Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 18,552 Likes: 137 Supreme Master | Supreme Master Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 18,552 Likes: 137 | window vans look so good with dark tint.Very nice Reed Arianrhod:2003 Chevy Astro Black Magic: 1985 Dodge B-250 Serenity:1985 Chevy G-20 The Outcast:1983 Ford club wagon Luna 1974 VW bay window transporter Freedom:1990 Ford E-150(parts van) Outcast Vanners van club Support your local 2% | | |
