I did mine a couple of weeks ago. Its only three T15 torx screws holding the hinges and catch to the window, just have someone on the outside of the vehicle while you undo them. Took me longer to remove and replace the windows than to actually apply the tint (precut to shape). I'm just waiting on a friend to do the back window for me, tried it myself and ballsed it up after getting 3/4 of it down ok.

As above, it's really very simple to remove the window hinges from the glass, there may be a rubber washer on the outside between glass and retainer, so don't lose those.
I found the side windows relatively straight forward, even for a novice like me (remember to cut the holes out so you can refit the hinge fixings!).
The back window however.... lets just say there are some times when it's worth paying a professional for their time and expertise, and saving yourself some stress and a few more grey hairs lol!

Have this on my Xantia estate. I find it emphasises the brightness of following headlights at night.

Because the rear window is curved, you need to use heat to mould it into shape, otherwise it'll wrinkle in the corners. Heat gun if you're careful, hair dryer if you're not.
