    No it was ok, cut the tints out on the outside, then transfered them to the inside. on a mk2 the back window dont have much curve, so it makes life that much easier [:D]

    Does the glass have to be taken out? If so, maybe I could replace the window rubbers at the same time!

    The front driver and passenger windows must allow a minimum of 70% light to come through

    Did you have to remove the back as well as the front? How dark were they?

    no just the fronts but made the car look lkie a van the law states that they have to let through a min of 70% light to be legal mine were a very light smoke which u could see perfectly through but they only let through 44% light newer cars have a factory tint on any thing less then i think its 25% light then your car is not allowed to be driven so b careful
