K so im told that this type of plastic used in the window continuously outgasses making normal window tint a no no.

Any of you with this piece have the window tinted at all? I was thinking of going with the static style worst case scenario.. or possibly the tint film these sell to smoke out headlights and taillights.. doubt that stuffs very optically clear tho. Id like to be able to see clearly out the back.. but full shade is a MUST here in AZ.

It seems small enought to just go to home depot and pick up a peice of plexy glass....Im pretty sure they sell tinted Plexy...

It would appear that your tunnel hatch fits a little better than the OP. How?

When I had mine on, I only had one strut on at times so it was easier to shut. That would push one side up a little bit. Also, I did not have the weather stripping on so there were gaps.

Unfortunately, I do not have my car anymore so I can't provide any more pictures. My life is a little incomplete after selling it to a 17 year old kid.

I'm know for adding useful content for the curious.
They are not an oem fit for sure. But id imagine they can.be adjusted like others to get an acceptable fit.
