I replaced my 2002 top with a OEM 2004 top and frame a few years ago, and I took the opportunity to have the back window tinted while the top was off.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a question for anyone out there who replaced their top with a glass window and had it tinted. Does the windo need to be tinted before installing or is it possible to do afterwards? It's a little tight in there.

POST 2Original post

I replaced my 2002 top with a OEM 2004 top and frame a few years ago, and I took the opportunity to have the back window tinted while the top was off. It can probably be done with it installed, but with the roll bars, etc. it is very tight.

POST 3Original post

Any good tinter will be able to do it with it installed. Just take the windstop out so they can get to it. My friend has been tinting for years and the hardest is a miata lol. They tinted mine after I installed my new roof
