Tinting your windows on an '08 22V

[WadsworthSunsport22V]

how about night. I already struggle to see when it is pitch black and no moon.

You will be over the windshield at night if you tint your windows, the 35% will give you a little better vision at dusk/late evening, 20% will give you even less, 5% limo even worse. I am sure at night you are not traveling to fast anyway, but it is definitely something to consider before you make the investment.

I'm planning on having this done to our new boat. I was really hoping it could be done on the boat. Guess I'll take it to my tinted and see what he says.

On the newer Supras its near impossible to tint the windows on the boat because there is very little room from the dash to window clearance. Again, take it from my mishaps, make sure your tinter has done many boat windows. There is nothing worse than picking up your windows and not being satisfied, along with having to deny someone payment.

I dropped my windows off at tinter #3 this afternoon, so we shall see. Here are some pictures to go along with the removal steps

1. I had 2 pins to pop out in order to remove the walkthough window


2. Remove the rubber strip to expose the screws



3. I used a drill/screw gun to remove the screws.

4. My boat had (1) screw/nut combo on each window. I put a vise grip on the nut, and just backed the screw out with the drill.


5. Remove the screws for the window support


6. Lift the frames off the boat


Here's a picture of the tough-to-get-to screw under the tower

Tint guy #1 spent 2.5 hours on this first pane of glass before giving up. Here's a shot of 20% on the front pane, and a bare back panel for comparison.
