Tint: Which shop does 20% ceramic with a 1-piece rear window?

[TheWulf]

Location: Ottawa, Montreal, or Toronto (or anywhere in between!)

I'm struggling to find a shop able to do a 20% tint 1-piece rear window. Many only do partial tints, or 2-piece tints, or only offer 35% for a 1-piece job as they need to order a full roll.

Can anyone recommend a reputable shop that will do 20% in 1-piece? Looking for a top quality job here: tint right to the top of the window (no gap), smooth cut, and no dust/lint.

I used this place and they did a great job. I used the shop in Mississauga, but you can call and ask about their other location. Professional Car Window Tinting Service in Vaughan and Mississauga

I got my 20% one-piece ceramic tint (XPEL) along with PPF and ceramic coating interior & exterior here. Highly recommended!

This is great! We have family in Mississauga. I'll keep this in mind for the fall when we can hopefully travel again. Thanks!

Jay is an amazing dude - very knowledgeable and thorough. I bombarded him with questions and he answered all of them patiently. If you get a couple things done (PPF, ceramic coat etc) he will even throw in a 'bundle discount'.

That is Tesla dishing out BS. The crack is most likely a manufacturing issue with the glass itself. Many people all over the forums without any tint have also had this issue and there is nothing conclusive that proves that the tint had anything to do with it. Here is one such thread where folks without any tint also had their rear glass crack:
Rear glass cracked

During my research, I checked with multiple high volume tint installers in the GTA (West Side Pro, Elegant Motoring, Evelyn etc) and not a single one of them had experienced any rear glass cracks due to tint.

How much did you pay, if you don't mind, and do they do one piece for the rear?

Another plus 1 for Jay at Westside pro in Oakville. Initially I got a 2 piece but it was sloppy. He found a new installer and redid it in one piece at no cost.
