Tint clear soft windows

[Craig Ruskaup]

Has anyone had any luck tinting the clear plastic soft top windows? Spray? $1100 to replace with new tinted Mopar windows.

Some people have had luck with static cling tint. I've never seen it or tried it myself.

You said windows, do you have soft uppers that you also want to tint? Or is this a Wrangler?

Wrangler, yes the 3 back windows

One option, you could check with a local upholstery shop to see if they can sew in new tinted plastic.

Should be cheaper than $1,100. Downside is upholstery shops are often pretty busy with wait times to get work done. At least around here they are.

Not to second guess, but are you sure about the $1100?
To replace the windows on a JK was about $300 the last time I had to, granted that has been a little while.

Jeep also had a single part number for 3 windows at that time. The single part number was a package deal that gave a much better price then buy just one. I vaguely remember the 3 pack combo was cheaper then just buying the rear alone.

I agree, I will double check with parts dept! Thank you!

That was true on the JK but not on the JL according to our parts dept

I've used Insta Cling tint to successfully tint soft top windows in the past.

I attempted to tink my JK windows and nothing seemed to work. I ended up getting them on line and tinting my glass windows. It was about 600$ total. I’m not sure where you are getting 1200$. I got a one year entire old soft top for 750 on marketplace. Quadrateck has the back window for 428$, but you can find them for as low as 100$ on marketplace sometimes. You said windows (there is only one), am I missing something?

OP later clarified it's for a Wrangler.
