Default Re: Explorer/Overland Roof Tents.

I cheated with the window tint as just for the rear cargo area of the CSW which is covered again with exterior grilles. Although we'd have loved to have got it done professionally - cargo area somehow didn't warrant the expense and we've had to start watching the pennies ----ssssssooooooooooooo expensive all this Land Rover equipment and fitting out - the vehicle is fast becoming more expensive than the intended trip itself. So, we spent £40 on two rolls of self adhesive security film from Halfords and wasted another £20 on the wrong colour which we'd already opened and cut to size (though we could use elsewhere e.g. UV protection for children in 2nd row as the tint is lighter - not so heavy). Also spent I think £15 on a kit which included a spray bottle and sharp knife and a squeegee thingy. We're really pleased with the overall result though with the exterior grilles using nylock nuts. We should have spent £55 but spent £75. Reckon it costs about £200+????? to have windows tinted professionally so may well be comparable at end of the day. Photo to follow shortly.
