6 Hours. That didnt include removing the rear door card.
One tint, 6 hours.
Broke a rivit gun, had to get my uncle to drill the rivits out, couldnt get the window on the runner then line up with the holes, tried to rivit a new rivit in, gun wouldnt come away from the rivit, had to hacksaw that rivit out. Had to run to tesco at 8pm to get a nut and bolt set 
Mishhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I think your downfall was when you tried to rivet the tint to the window TBH.

He bought the tints that were professionally done for £50. All we had to do was fit them. Easy, ya?

Yeah, I know its the runners that are riveted in, but i've never actually seen the glass removed to tint windows before.

If it's curved in 2 planes you have to heat shrink it.

He has a set of tinted windows. He bought them already tinted. So we had to replace his standard rear 5 door ones with the tinted ones

Ah right, that makes more sense. I thought you were taking the original ones out to tint them.

Nah, but it would be easier than doing them in the car if you get my drift?
