To UW RL - It took them about 3 hours to do the A7 tints and that panel comes out in 2 seconds - ther are two spring-loaded pins on each side that allow you to pop it off and then the other piece of the shelf just pops off.

Sherold - I had that done at Shaded Days up in Lake Bluff. I've had three or four cars tinted there. I have heard good things about Umbra in Schaumburg as well. Good luck.

Are you referring to the piece that's directly below the rear glass that are held by 4 "attachments"?

aquarian

What I was asking was that were you referring to the piece that's attached to the "trunk" door?

bmcds4

Yes - the piece that stays on the hatch door comes off with two ***** on each side. They are spring loaded and the two other tabs in the lower window are just that - tabs that pop into a little slot. Pull on the ***** and the whole thing drops out.

Awesome. This picture was the deciding factor in getting the same tint. 3M 35% tint all around. Have to admit, the car looks great.

On another note, I had to drive through the suburbs of Seattle (home of the famous Microsoft) to get to the tinting place. I saw 4 A7s in that vicinity. 2 White, 1 slate, 1 black! A7s are getting popular around here!

30 percent ceramic rear and sides, went back the following week and had the windshield done at 70 percent. Tinted front yellow side marker also.
