Why the Rear Window Matters

The rear window is more than just another piece of glass — it’s often the largest and most curved surface on the vehicle. This means it can easily trap moisture, crease, or fail to conform properly if the installer isn’t prepared. Mastering this technique can be the difference between a good tint job and a flawless, professional-grade installation.
