Smash & Grab tint places

Where have guys got smash & grab tint done in Jhb?
I'm concerned about access to the rear window and possible damage to the rear seats.
Did they remove the 3rd brake light?

Mine was done by the dealers. Mine has the entire rear windscreen tinted - saw some other on the recent Nelspruit run that had a cut out for the brake light.

Ask the dealers - and failing which - ask the Subaru dealers...

The dealer offered to do it for around R3k. But they were going to send it to Auto Armor and Auto Armour only charges R1600. 90% markup, no thanks.

I'm thinking either Auto Armour or PG Glass.

Sandton sound & security. R1200, covers the whole window without removing the light or anything else. They're ninjas like that...

They've moved shop, maybe you've got the wrong number?

They're on the corner of South and Rivonia now.
