Tinting a Trans Am Back Window

[@GT-fb8nv]

That was mighty labor intensive, man I was worn out by the time you got through with the job. "Mighty purdy work," that's how we say it in Texas. Hats of to you sir. I hung in there every step of the way and even backed up 15 seconds here and there probably 25 or so times. I need a nap now. :)

[@ericrose7850]

Great video, that was a little stressful with those defroster lines!

[@tacoconch7678]

Wow! I expected much bigger fingers on that back glass. That black border must have made things much easier as well.

[@faceofforthright]

I have my first Trans Am in the shop, and needless to say this video has removed a lot of intimidation, thanks Ralph for this, and all your other videos!

[@MarioGarcia-iq2ko]

Nice job Ralph I bet that some tinters can even do that back window 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Rick-O-Shay60]

I'm gonna give ya a like on this video for your labor. I myself have been working on these old T/A's since when they were new, and I realize what a pain in the back side they are to work in that small back seat area. (big guy in a small car syndrome) Seems to get tougher as we get older too! Anyways, Good job. I'm ready for a donut break just watchin from the side line!

[@john__6475]

What did you do about the gap of light @1:01:12 near the bottom left along the defroster? Anyway thanks for the video not an easy window at any level. These are the cars they need to put in the tint-offs!

[@JBIRD575]

These old cars were hard like the one in the background I have a 1984 Chevy tomorrow with a slider I'm going to have fun

[@kylesherman3077]

love them classics

[@JBIRD575]

nice job Ralph nice videos always

[@biff1tannen]

Very nice job. 😊👍🇧🇻

[@jmart8891]

I'd like to see a video of you doing the back window on the chevy camaro in the back

[@h1k4life71]

just did one. look up rear window on a charger its similar. and "tint stuff" shows a how too

[@jawknee21]

Gotta do my 81 camaro soon. The tint has been on there so long it faded to like 90%.😂

[@JBIRD575]

rite on can you use bottle of straight Water for pieces that dont stick a tinter said that on tintdude website

[@MoralConflict]

"It has a back window in it..." Rare in your neck of the woods is it? "I'm going to trim it, it's not going to be my last trim, but it will be my first .." I can't take it anymore... Best of luck to you.

[@tintdaddy]

Great job Ralph I Did one about 6 months ago Kind of a PITA I can't believe how many of those I tinted in the mid 80's, Anyway it was great to meet you at the International Window Film Conference in San Antonio always cool to meet other Tinters that have been around since the 80's.

[@FlexFilmPlus]

tintdaddy Thanks for the shout out!

[@chuckger1625]

Ralph - why did you choose to spray the outside instead of using your bar of soap method? AND when do you choose soap vs spray method? thanks

[@FlexFilmPlus]

Chuck Ger I usually just shrink wet when the window is easy to shrink or small. Just quicker for me and saves a step.

[@robertholsopple9451]

does the steel wool damage the defroster at all?

[@tacoconch7678]

I've never had any issues with it. I wouldn't go any more coarse than 00 steel wool though. Steel wool is such a life saver when doing retints on back glasses as well. Helps with cleaning crusty old glue off. Just be sure to wipe trim edges with a cloth and air hose the glass and trim off before installing your film. You can't hide shiny steel wool hairs when they get under tint. lol

[@geraldmcquirt1631]

What about a 97 ford f150 singles cab

[@JDC8397]

The "boarders" around the edges are factory made

[@markporter2642]

I watched this just to watch you squeeze into the back seat. 😭. I’ll call Monday for more Panaflex. It’s selling good.

[@FlexFilmPlus]

Somebody had to do it. Lol

[@allewis6153]

just use black out for the sides and tint the easier flat middle but get the customer ok1st

[@joejones3406]

You've been Tinting how long? And on your own film still bite it to find the liner side?

[@FlexFilmPlus]

I will learn how to peel the liner with my knife if you learn how to spell. "own" not "on" lol

[@joejones3406]

Ralph Van Pelt You misread what I typed. I wasn't implying you own your own film. I was implying you are biting ON film you own.

[@FlexFilmPlus]

+Joe Jones Sorry for the misunderstanding. I bit my film because I have amazing results with the final product.

[@FlexFilmPlus]

+Ralph Van Pelt bite*

[@joejones3406]

Thought maybe you were hungry at the shop.

[@safetylowkey9100]

Where do you get your squeegee

[@timmarkham522]

Sometimes it looks like a reflection of Burt Reynolds in the back glass

[@waybach]

you need all the sugar/doughnuts you can get before attacking that back window! lol

[@waybach]

@@FlexFilmPluswow so that’s how you feel? I was legitimately serious about the sugar high, didn’t take you for the racist type, GOOD OL RALPHY what a shame me and my father bring you good business tsktsk

[@abdullast3434]

What a legend. People can’t do normal rear window because it’s curved. They should wee this

[@JohnnyKoch]

How bout an Toyota mr2 2nd gen, How tough are they?

[@FlexFilmPlus]

I actually have not tinted one of those since 1988 if we are talking about the same car.

[@techep3]

Why not do it before the glass was put in?

[@FlexFilmPlus]

Because I was only 9 years old back then.

[@techep3]

@@FlexFilmPlus lol, you guys said it was just put in, that's what I meant.

[@FlexFilmPlus]

@@techep3 I could not resist. You set that up perfect. Lol. It was definitely put in aftermarket but it could have been years ago. Just tinted it as it was brought to me.

[@techep3]

@@FlexFilmPlus lol. That's cool, I was thinking it was just done before hand or something. Good work my friend!

[@A1ssk]

Do that camaro in the back

[@geraldmcquirt1631]

Lmk please

[@graphikptz]

Nice work! we have same difficult car in russia - VAZ Classic :)

[@JBIRD575]

raaaaaalphhhhh where are you

[@h1k4life71]

bro who is shipping so damn expensive on your website???

[@FlexFilmPlus]

May be a programming/coding error. Try calling in the order

[@alltheboost5363]

lol I have watched a bunch of your videos and that was the first mistake I've seen you make.

[@JBIRD575]

Tint that car in the background those bottom sides suck on old Camaros and Firebirds

[@FlexFilmPlus]

We are going to tint it and video it.
