Default Stock soft window tinter?

Hey is there a way to tint your soft windows? Is there a product I can get instead of buying new tinted windows?

I had my fronts tinted and asked the guy if it was possible to tint the softop windows and he told me the it coudn't be done. Said that the factory uses a type of dye in the process of making them and that aftermarket tint would not hold up on the windows due to the flexiblity.

There used to be a thread in the write up section about tinting the soft top windows. the guy used some kind of tint that could be easily pulled off and re-applied if needed. I think it held up pretty good. The thread title was 26.00 tinted soft top (2dr). I have it bookmarked but when I click on it, it says invalid thread.

A while back when someone asked this same question, someone posted this video

Had the same question but finally decided the best way to go was buying Mopar factory tinted windows then had the two front windows tinted. Looks great. Cost me $356 for tinted replacement windows and $50 for the two front windows. Consider it money well spent!

Default Window Cling Tint

I saw the $26.00 thread before it got deleted and decided to try it. I have had it on mine for several months with pretty good results. Really the only problem I have had is one of the edges began to peel back a bit at one point. It actually fixed itself though.
