Hey Patrick,

I just bought a sweet, pre-owned Nissan Sentra. I love everything about it, except the windows. I have sensitive eyes and want to tint them. Is that impossible to do on my own?

Hi Grace,

Congrats on the new ride. I understand where you are coming from. Having a professional darken the windows can be expensive. Luckily, there is a way to handle it yourself.

Most auto parts stores sell kits. Find one within the budget and follow the instructions carefully. In almost all cases, there are a few simple steps to blacken that glass.

First, everything must be perfectly clean. Often, these DIY options come with cleaning solution, a scraper, and dust-free cloth to get it spotless.
Next, apply a thin layer of tinted plastic over the surface. Cut it to fit the exact dimensions of the windows, which many find to be the trickiest part.
The final step usually involves applying adhesive so the film stays on tight.

Each set is a little different, but that is the basic idea. With a little time and precision, it could save you big bucks.

Good luck and let me know if you have other questions.
