Getting my windows tinted tomorrow. How does the rear window brake light come out? Do not want the to cut around it.
Thanks for the help.

its attachted to the headliner- also when you pull off the outer bezel first, the clips that hold the bezel will fall up in the cars shell-have to fish them out with a magnet- then the lighted part you have speed nuts that are nuted to the headliner,have to slightly pull the liner down to get to the nuts

 

[Lane Meyer]

So just give the outer cover a good tug. And the the lighted part is held by speed nuts. Hopefully I won't break anything!

 

[bluesrt]

yep- you wont break nothin- its not that tight of a clip

 

[bluesrt]

i may have it backwards as its been 2 years- the outer cover i think is speed nutted to the headliner, then the light assembly is cliped to the cars shell.

Will go check it out thanks.

Exactly what my guy did, there's enough room for it to slide between the light and the window.

Is there enough room for them to squeegee out any bubbles?

be careful, the people that I had do mine broke the clips.
Didn't even bother telling me.
Had to take it to the dealer to get fixed.
Also they did a sup par job on the lines around defroster ( granted I knew it was not going to be perfect)

Just make sure you check it before you leave.

No bubbles in mine. I didn't actually see him squeegee it though, so can't say for sure

Tinter just pulled light housing down some and then installed tint. Looks perfect.

Mine was slid under with out removal also, no bubbles somehow. You can hardly see the light during the day.

I took the brake light out when I tinted mine. However, there is quite a bit of room and we have tools that can squeegees behind it no problem. Installer's preference really. Just dont let 'em cut around it ;-)

Same here..

 

[Blu Chalnger]

I had him cut around the light. Don't want to get rearended because the light was covered by tint. :disgust:

 

[SAPhotoman]

Mine is cut around the light. Looks good to me. Easier for the texters to notice too!
