    What does it cost for the 3 rear Windows to be done?

    Are there any issues with the rear screen heater and the tint?

    Is this something insurance companies need to be told?

    Ken insurance companies need told if you fart on the drivers seat. They will want to know, but as it's the rear windows it won't worry them.

    I don't think there's any issues with heating elements, but someone else might be able to advise better on that one.

    No issues with element on any cars I've had tinted from factory or aftermarket - temp change is actually pretty minimal and the film will take more heat abuse from sunlight I'd imagine.

    Costs range from £100-£150 for B pillers back.

    From Factory JCW to Audi TT Quattro - Might be back one day!

    In the baking heat of a Scottish summer the heating element of a rear window wont be as much as the direct sunlight
