Got the windows tinted today....I did take out the regular sliding windows so that they could tint them all the way down BUT I could not figure out how to get the rear sliders out (after market and no luck with any how to's etc). I am going to try and figure out a way to take the slider out and get them redone in the next few weeks. All in all, happy with it....hopefully will keep the heat down and some thieves from looking in the van.

Nice looking Syncro, nice looking tint.
And your doggo will enjoy it come summer.
Absolutely no regrets on doing mine a few years ago
Can you post the percentages you had applied as reference for those considering tint?

Nice looking tint job. I love my window tint. It really helps keep things cooler in summer and i like the added privacy. Nice looking rig!

Nice van.

Do you have a link to a thread or video on how to take out the regular sliders? I have poorly tinted windows (rippled) that I would like to change but have not found a "how to" to get the windows out.

As much as I dislike dark tint, that's a good looking van!

I'm hoping to try the 3M crystalline tint that's nearly clear but blocks heat.

Thanks, but how do you get the frame out? I think I saw that video when I was researching.
