I have a cleaning box. I believe its just a box to throw out your garbage so you can throw it out later OR its just a cleaning box that holds cleaning products?

I don't use mine lol.

The tint has lots of long bubbles in it that were completely obscuring my view through the back. After two hours of scrapping i've got about a fifth of the tint off, tomorrow i'll try steaming it, or using a heat gun or something

4 hours, a bottle of straight ammonia, extra fine steel wool, and numerous razor blades, and I can finally see out of my back window. And I only broke 4 defrost lines!

Dont use a scraper you will distroy your defrost lines. Use a heat gun and heat up an area ( preety hot ) about 8" square a slowly peel the tint of. It is alot of work. After you get all the tint off you will need windex and a garbage bag. on the outside of the window cut the garbage bag to the size of the inside of the window. Spray lots windex on the glue and cover it up with the garbege bag ( prevents the windex from evaperating) let is sit for about 1 hour. Peel back the garbage bag about 10" at a time and wipe the glue of with paper towel. If there is little bits of glue left over you can use the windex and some fine steel wool.

does anyone else have a plastic shield fitted to the inside of the rear window. I'm torn on whether or not I like it

Part of the problem with the tint is that the layers of the tint had all separated, The heat gun and windex works great when all pieces of the tint are still together, your just left with the glue. Mine still had the tint layer as well. The ammonia eats all of that stuff, so I sprayed the straight ammonia onto the extra fine steel wool and rubbed, it took a few rolls of wool as they do clog up, but thats what worked best in this case (its also 20 below here so the heat gun is a scary idea)

The broken defrost wires can be fixed easy enough with a cheap kit.

Pics when I can

It says CELICA on it, looks like lexan or something, almost like rear window louvers, it fits on the inside of the hatch window and is attched with little brackets and screws....makes it kind of hard to see out the back if you ask me
