Thanks everyone, but he window behind closet in my
westy already has old tint stuck to it, i would be
amazed if they can do this without removing that
closet.....dont they have to scrub down the gummy
window 1st?. Yeah I dont have AC so after hearing
about all your AC westys, this should be easier than i
thought.

Still undecided on Mirror VS Smoke.

Phil 84' Westy Tiico,
4spd, has no AC, no PS.
