    Price depends whether they do a proper job by removing any windows that can be removed.

    We use a company and act as a middleman and they don't take windows out, never needed to. I've seen loads of their work and it's perfect.

    The tinters that I've spoken to seem to regard p1 V70's as being one of the easier cars. Even the tailgate window is reasonably flat, but I know p2's are more difficult to do.

    Going to do mine myself in the coming weeks, I've done the last few cars I've owned. Provided you take your time, your clean EVERYTHING before fitting you can get a good finish.

    Seriously thought of doing mine myself, and looked at the tint and tool kits yesterday. However, I have nowhere particularly good to fit it, so for £160 I've taken that option.

    You really need r/o water to do a good job as it's pure.Your local window may sell you some cheap. Any filtered water is better than tapwater but Reverse osmois water is the best.

    Windows don't need to be removed nowadays fella. The pro's do it with windows in situ. I've seen them do one of my windows making a template. very clever, with the tint right up to the edge. I'll take a photo of mine if you want and post.
