When I got to Spokane Sunscreen on Friday, I mentioned that people on the
Vanagon list had suggested removing the window next to the cabinet to tint
it.  He looked at the windows, said "Sure, we can do that", and didn't
charge any extra!

Thanks for the suggestion, it resulted in a better looking job!

I settled on Titanium, which has a very slight bluish tint to the grey, and
is supposed to reject "Up to" 61% of heat.  They did a medium-dark on the
side and back windows, and a strip on top of the windshield.  The front and
vent windows have the lighter tint the law requires.  It looks good, and
we'll see how it goes this summer.

Total cost with tax $188.09

The only problem so far is that the drivers side vent window has developed a
loud whistle at speeds above 45mph. It goes away when I press on the front
corner of the window.  I solved it temporarily by using electrical tape on
the outside, but something must have changed when they installed the tint.

Anyone have any suggestions of what I can do to solve this without driving
85 miles back to Spokane?

Speaking of driving, the Kumho 852s have had about 400 miles of highway
driving.  So far they are very stable and quiet at 39 psi front and 45 back.
  Below that they tend to wander a bit.

Next weekend I'm off to V-Con in Vancouver, BC.  That will probably be a
good test of the tires and the tint.

Happy Camping!
