If you have the windows out it should be quite easy.
First, buy expensive tint, you'll be bitter if you don't. (read bubbling, warping, losing color)
Second, Clean the window with some sort of alchohol. Remove all greases that you can. Next, spray a generous portion of soapy water on the window and back of the adhesive side of the tint.
Third, get a squeegee of some sort, like a tissue covered credit card, and throw that tint at your window.
Fourth, squeegee the bubbles out from the middle to the outside, you're not in too much of a hurry if you put lots of soapy water down first.
Finally, let that sucka dry. A few hours will be plenty. Wait a day if you really want. Use a SHARP X-acto #11 blade around the bevel of the window to remove the excess.
This is how we apply vinyl letters and graphics to curvy surfaces in the sign business. The same principles should apply to window film.
take your time and remember you can always pull it up while it's still wet without losing adhesive properties.
oh yeah, if you have a rear defroster, take it to a pro.
