When you guys got your tint done, did they have to remove the windshield wiper on the rear window to make a good cut-out? If so how do you remove it because i'm planning to get my tint done and i'd rather remove it myself it its needed. Thanks in advance guys!

 

i dont have an evo but... Tint goes on the inside, there wouldnt bea reason for them to remove that wiper.

 

I know but theres this rubber piece on the inside of the car and most tint shops precut on the outside so if they don't take out the wiper it won't be cut right when put inside

 

well i was gonna get tint but probably not anymore b/c legal % in ny is 70%... so theres no point in tinting and my car attracts too much attention by cops

 

I have my windows tinted and yes they wound up removing my rear wiper because of the black piece. They cant cut around it because of the restriction in space because of the window slanting down. It took the guy 5min to remove it and when he was done he put it right back in. It wasnt a big deal but yes if you are getting your windows tinted they will remove your wiper assembly from the back window.

i believe it is 35percent to be legal in ny. Meaning only 35 percent of outside light passing thru the tinted windows.

 

i wish it still was... that was like 3 years ago

70% is now the NYS Law of tint percentage

"Section 375 (12-a) of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law does not allow a windshield or front side windows that are dark. The windshield and front side windows cannot block more than 30% of the light. Seventy percent or more of the light from the outside must pass through the window. This law also applies to rear windows unless the vehicle has outside rear-view mirrors on both sides. The mirrors must give the driver a full and clear view behind the vehicle."

i have 15% all around, love it

 

so does anyone know how to take out the rear wiper? I want to do it myself before i take it to get it tinted

 

When I had my car tinted, they remove the rear wiper too. It's pretty easy, just pop the cover at the base, then inside there's a screw holding it in place, unscrew it and you'll be able to take it off.

 

i took off the nut and it wouldn't come off. Do you just pull on it? I saw some bolts inside the trunk. Do you know if they took that out too? Thanks in advance

 

No they didnt do anything in the trunk at all. Everything you need is right in the wiper assembly.

 

so that one bolt can take the whold windshield wiper off? I'll try it out. Thanks!

 

I took off that bolt and it didn't come off. I tried pulling on it and it didn't budge. Anyone else know how to take out the rear windshield wiper? Thanks in advance
