I was thinking of doing this here in the spring. But I'd have to glue something to the inside of the soft top windows in the back. Not sure if any other way to get them to attach

I heard that the cling won't stay on if you roll up your windows

just to share my results with the cling tint and softdoors...

the windows on the softdoors curl at the zippers ever so slightly (unlike the rear side windows where they are flat all the way to the edges). This slight curl would not allow the cling tint to "stick". So in the end...if your thinking about tinting the softdoor windows dont waste your money on the cling tint...

any other suggestions on what to try??

I'm just going to hang blinds so I can adjust the light. 👍
