this has probably been asked before but how do you go about tinting an NA with a soft top, can you tint the plastic window. i really want tinting because my car gets so hot and it would look a lot better too, but i dont want 3 tinted windows and a clear back window. help anyone?

Modify: woops should have put this in paint, body and trim

I wanted to do the same when I had a pastic rear window. I asked a professional tinter, and he said that the plastic window could not be done.

Now that I have a glass rear window I'm thinking of getting the rear and side glass tinted.

I got my NA tinted when I had it and it is fine, even though you do not tint the rear window.

Why tint the windows when the top and windows are down when it is not raining?

The car is heaps cooler to get back into after being parked for one! 8)

& when the sun is smouldering out of the west on a hot day, spin the windows up & be protected from UV & glare while still enjoying the wind in what's left of your hair! 8)

It makes a huge difference in temerature....also protects your interior to some degree.

Sunblock stops sunburn, and I have a cloth car cover that I put over the car when it is parked in the sun.

39 today here in Adelaide, and we have just come back from a picnic in the Botanical Gardens, and it was only warm when we were stopped at the traffic lights 8)

Oh, I don't have A/C, either, so maybe the heat has affected me over the last 5 years of driving my toy :D

The one drawback after 265+km is that the seat belts have now faded so I don't how effective they will be, so will buy DUJ's ones.
