I tinted my windows and the guy tinting them took the two jacks off the back window and told me to put them back on after 5 days so the tint would not twist, when I put the jacks on the window got in a bind and it shattered, I still have a nasty scar on my forehead...... I don't recommend messing with that back window, seem like it shattered too easy...

I was thinking of tinting my front door windows. But never even thought about tinting the hardtop windows, they seem dark enough as is.

Ok, I know it's not helping the situation, but that made me laugh... thanks for helping me get my morning started off right.

I have driven with the back window up and have NO problems except for the raddling of the window shocks making noise.

I don't believe that you are supposed to drive with the hard top on and the back glass open?

I've taken mine off a few times. No problem wiht exhaust. It's light and quick to do. Alot easier than taking the whole top off.

I am curious about removing the back window so I can bring my kayak anywhere, easily
