Default Window Tint

Hey guys, I have always bought my window tint from a store on eBay because its all pre-cut window tint so I never have to worry about making the perfect cut. Just slap it on(easier said than done) and looks good. I never realized how much curve is in our driver and passenger windows and the backseat windows were easy. BUT...I have not done the rear window yet because I simply do not know how hard it will be. Me and my dad were about to do it till we really looked at the rear window and just paused and set it off for awhile. Now its been almost 6 month now without rear window tent.

So my question is if anyone who put on their own window tint...how hard was it for the rear window and any advise or recommendation on how to deal with this major curved window.

TC1 rear window needs to be heat formed on the outside of the car first, I tried with the pre-cut tint and failed because I didn't heat form first. Checkout youtube for tinting videos on heat forming tint.
