Looking for someone who tinted the car themselves... I can't find any DIY for the removal of the interior panels to get FULL access to the rear window. I've tinted every car I've had... Rav4, Z, Lancer with no problems. I just can't figure out how to access that small area where the rear stop lamp is. Anyone know how to take it out? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I'm pretty sure you can do it without removing the interior panels? I got car tinted by a tint shop, and i dont believe that they removed any panels in the process.

Do you mean the part that the 3rd brake light is blocking? I see some tint places cut around that brake light, but i believe it is removable.

 

Yeah, the 3rd brake light on the G37S w/o the rear spoiler. The 3rd brake light is part of the panel along with the two rear Bose speakers. I get the tint on properly except I can't smooth out the area behind that 3rd brake light.

 

hmm. take a look at this thread:

the first post, look at the last picture. He has the panel removed, i think with just a few clips or something. It is definitely removable.

hope this helps,

Ok... here's a DIY for the removal of the REAR DECK Panel / Shelf with the brake lamp. This piece is known as the G37 Rear Parcel Shelf by Infiniti.

This is the way I did it and it came out successful with no problems.

Step 1: Pull the release latch for the rear seats in the trunk.

Step 2: Fold the rear seats down to reveal the two plastic tabs. Pull the plastic tabs out.



Step 3: Pull upward on the center of the panel piece so that it comes out from behind the latch.

Step 4: On the passenger side of the car, push down on the left-hand side of the rear deck piece. It will reveal that the panel is hooked into place by two L-shaped plastic pieces. One is in the farthest most of the side panel and the other is in the middle. See the photo with the two holes.


Step 5: Push down on the rear deck with your right hand and pull the side panel towards your body using your left hand. There should be enough clearance for the L-shaped hooks to let go of the passenger side of the rear deck.

Step 6: The procedure is the same for the driver-side. On the right-hand side of the rear deck panel, push down with your left hand and grab the side panel with your right hand. Pull the side panel with your right and allow enough clearance for the L-shaped hooks to let go of the rear deck panel.

Step 7: Now the whole rear deck shelf is loose. The only thing that is connecting it is the brake light. Underneath the rear deck, you'll find a wire but it cannot be disconnected from under the panel because it is soldered to a board. The connecting part is located in the trunk area. Lay down and find the trunk light.


Step 8: Located to the left side of the trunk light is a hole where the connection is situated. Using a needlenose pliers, just lightly pinch the clips together and push to the left. This is the hole beside the trunk light.


This is what you see when you look inside that hole.



Step 9: The clip will come out and run the wire out the hole. Once you do that, your done.

To reinstall, just do the same thing in reverse.

Again, that's just how I did it. If anyone can add anything to this, please let me know. It would be very helpful.

 

Just had my G37 S tinted. The guy let me hang out and watch, there was no removal of any pannels. The job is absolutely perfect. 25% ceramic tint.
accurate tint and audio, in Pelham Al.
Again I cant overstate what a sick job he did, flawless

 

Got my tints installed as well, no panels removed.

 

^^Same here. $100, if it took me more than an hour plus the supplies...not worth DIY IMO.
