Hi,
I haven't had the SAAB tinted yet, maybe this summer. But, definitely have it prof done.
To do a large rear window in one piece is real talent. Obviously the tint is not what you are paying for, but the skill of the installer.
If you do decide to try as I did, try this, the guy who installed mine told me a bit about his technique: cutout and gently heat form the applique to the outside of the window first for working ease. The curvature that the tint retains really helps get the 'darts' out. When you try to form it after appling, there is liquid on the tint when you put it on the window, it will not heat form to the curvature until it is nearly dry. In hind sight this is probably 50% to 70% of getting the job right.
Later,
tony
