Phil,

Get a different Tint guy.

I had my rear window done with the closet in place.

A good shop can reach the area with a long squeegee.

Not sure about the Mirror vs Smoke, I went with Smoke and I'm very
happy.

But any tint shop should be able to give you the specs on one vs.
another.

Good Luck,

Larry Chase

Subject: Westy Window Tinting, installation/smoke V.S mirror

Hi,
I need to remove the rear closet so the Tint man can
get to that window. The window in my westy is already
tinted and is in OK condition although it has turned
purple of time. My question is, how much work is it to
get that closet removed? How/where should i start? Ive
removed the kitchen+dometic before and that was a bear
of a job.....is it that tough?

Also, i live in Florida, where going outside in the
summer is equivelent to witnessing a 10 megaton
nuclear blast at 100 yards. and now for Mirror V.S
Smoke tint-WHICH tint lets the least light in? Maybe i
should just ask which will be cooler.?

Thanks
