So we've had some customers who keep asking if the 2nd gen Eclipse can be done in one piece...and with the best quality films that LLumar produces...their ATR which is metalized and tends to be thicker than other films.
Granted...it is one of the harder windows on the market...and most shops around don't want to touch it or try one piece...or even say you need to do a strip of vinyl to relieve the stress. Riiiiiight! lol
Here's a quick step by step from a TST'ers car who's rear windshield is demo'd for this process...

tint is shrunk to fit...

tint is now trimmed to fit...

and smoothed to double check...

tint is now placed on clean windshield...

finished product...

Other rear windshields that CAN be done in one piece that some shops say can't...But SOG does:
C5 corvettes, C6 corvettes, 80's to present Camaros, Beetles, 90s T-birds, Berettas...

you have to shrink the film on the outside to do it one piece...
