I tinted mine using the Insta-Cling stuff from Wally World. Cut to fit, except leave about a 1/8" gap along the edges. (It will be invisible from the outside)  I used a *very* weak mix of soap and water (I think it was like 4-8 drops of soap to a pint of water). Spray the tint and the inside plastic after thoroughly cleaning the inside of the plastic. Apply the tint and adjust it, then squeegee out the water. Ignore any *really* small bubbles because they will disappear.  You must use the insta-cling (removable) type tint. I'll send pictures to you via e-mail of the results on mine.

Check your AOL e-mail for some pix. Forgot to tell you I also added a couple of "before" shots for comparison. Feel free to share with anyone who needs them.

  I tinted mine with the cling type too.  Easy and cheap to do and I've had no problems with mine, even with taking the top up and down.

I HATE that stuff!  My 2-door came with tinted side windows.  Just what I want, less visibility when wheeling!  So I finally peeled it off last weekend.

  Yeah, I don't use it on my trail rig cause it reduces visability.   But on my daily driver, it helps keep it cooler, and makes it a little harder for people with sticky fingers to be tempted by whats inside, I hope!
