I may have just sourced a set of genuine sunblinds for mine... will cut the need for tinting, and can be removed in the winter or whenever to get some light on the subject 
Will go and have a look tomorrow, and report back.
They have been discontinued and impossible to find

I have tried tinting windows many times myself and never have any of the windows ended up on the car...they always end up full of bubbles and look rubbish, no matter what technique I try (soap, heat etc..).
Save the hassle of buying the film, farting around trying to fit it then having to take it all off and clean the residue off the glass so it can be taken somewhere. Just take it somewhere and hand over the hard earned. I paid £50 to have the Jimny rear window done and it looks excellent. I think it would have been about £120 to have the 3 back windows done.

The film ended up in a crumpled ball on the driveway!! I ended up with nice clean windows though!!Has anyone had any success with DIY tint film?
Cheers,

Hi there I bought a 6m role off eBay for about £8 and did it myself. I had never done this sort of thing before but it turned out to be a very good job with no air bubbles at all so saved myself alot of cash. I find it very easy just a bit fiddley sometimes. The secret is to do it in a warm garage so the tint is more plyable and use plenty of soapy water on the glas which enables you to move the tint around into place, once in the correct position you can the sqeegy the water out and it will then stick into place. Then you just trim the edges accordingley.
Hope this helps
Thanks
James
