Any tips on tinting on curved glass?

Has anybody attempted to tint curved glass? I've done several cars and homes but its all been mostly flat or very minor curves.

My 08 Sanger has 90 degree bends in the windshield and looks like it might be tricky to tint.

have fun with that, i've done it a couple times.
buy a lot more tint than you need cause you probably won't get it right the first time.
you can always lay the tint on the outside and use a hair dryer and the squeegee to shape it to the window before you try to install it.
might find some videos on youtube that will help better than anyone can explain in words.

Yea... it will have to be streched for sure...If it were me, I would prolly take it down to a local place and have it done.

Lots of heat and have to shrink it to the window first. If you have never done it, take it to a reputable tint shop and have it done.
