    Tinting Defender Roof Windows

    Picked up my new Silver Defender last Thursday after the windows were tinted. Turns out the tinting company said they couldn't tint the roof windows because of the angles. Has anyone run into this problem? Do I need to try another company or come up with another solution?

    By the way, the new air conditioning and window tinting really keeps the new Defender cool!

    Thanks

    I never had problems getting my Disco alpine windows tinted - and they look the same basic shape as a Defender.

    rubbish they never tried.....

    they always say dont know if i can, to cover there backs incase it looks crap

    solar tint said it to me but still did it and did a very good job on both my discovery and my defender..........

    i think the glass is only curved one way.....i think some glasses can be curved more than one way which makes tinting them hard as its like tinting a goldfish bowl

    I actually asked for the extra dark/Black tint .. they said they did, but it looks the same to me.

    Yeah, this is something that $hits me. Mine were done by L.R and I payed more just so it could be done for when I pick it up and first thing I noticed was the alpines not tinted. I've seen many with them tinted and not a bubble or anything wrong. They were just lazy.

    Mate if that was my car I would of told them to take it back and tint them..
    what sort of car company can't tint there own windows that everyone else can

    We paid $380 I think it was and all windows except front windscreen were tinted, the very back including the alpines were done in the darkest legal. It was all done in about 4 1/2hrs and the tint is life time garenteed.

    I'm jealous! I do think it makes a big difference if Alpines are done too now I've sat in a couple with them done and often notice that mine are not!
