Default Tinting the back

Can't seem to find a similar thread, so maybe you guys know ? Can you tint the convertible top's back window ? Techincally it is made of glass, but would tint peel off or bubble for some reason with it being a convertible top ?

Well, I've had mine tinted for over a year and still flawless as when brand new.

I thought tint film on a heated rear window would interfere with the heating tape and cause problems.....or are the new ones not a problem???

Window tint will not harm the defroster, however, if you ever take it off, most installers will not garentee to not damage the heating stripes.

In the Yukon (where I live), we have daylight in the summertime for 20 hours a day. Hence the want for dark tint all the way around. I don't drive the convert in the wintertime, I have a Focus that I use as a second daily driver, so I'm not worried about the backing up and all.
