I did my civic with cling tint. 5% did an amazing job at reducing sun glare. I installed them using the same technique as standard window tinting, but it doesn't need to shape around the curved glass.

I like the sound of that. If you mess up, I assume you just peel back, readjust. Will it cling multiple times? And, I wonder if you can buy precut kits for the Yaris.

I had another crack the back window today. Everything went really well, until I tore a small strip out with my card, despite having it well lubricated with slip solution. There must have been a tiny speck of sand or something on the film. I really respect the folks that can put this stuff on flawlessly. Again, I tried doing this outside with a very mild breeze, not the right tools etc so it was destined to fail.

When the new kit arrives, I'm going to try again in my garage with the proper tools. Again, I bet I'll be in a tint shop within a week or two.
