    IIRC they usually have to make up a special tool to get into the small gap to do the small 1/4 windows. Some have tried removing the A pillar trim to improve access, but that risks breaking clips and/or introducing buzzes/rattles. That's why many tinters don't want to do them (too fiddly). The one on the driver's side is useless for any extra visibility anyway.

    So things didn't go well, he was not able to do the small window, no tool and forgot how difficult it was to access, and I really see the problem now that I have the car.

    So it's booked in next week here: About | Diamond Window Tints

    They are in Tuggeranong for all you Canberra people.

    I'll be dropping it off next Thursday. They sold me on the tint over the phone. I'll let you know how it goes.

    The tinting was done today and it looks like an excellent job. Just gotta wait for it to completely dry, but we are already looking cooler from the outside.

    They did the small front window too, no dramas.

    Saved me a trip to Sydney as well!
