CL203 Plexiglass Tinted?

I took my CL203 to the shop to get installed the tinted windows film.
The installer told me that the plexiglass cannot get the tinted windows film because the material dont let the film to stick adecuately.
So now i have my car with all the windows with the tinted film but the plexiglass little windows is transparent.
Anyone knows how to disassembly this plexiglass window?
Maybe this way i can put in there some black sticker vinyl!

You could block it off with painter's tape, and spray it with model tinted windows paint.

Somone did a very good write-up of the hatch removal process that would be helpful if you wanted to go down that route. It's all from the inside of the hatch, I believe; you should be able to find it with a search.

I agree with tommy, covering around it with painters tape and spray painting it would probably be the easiest rough. I have seen coupes with plasti dipped plexiglass and it looks nice on dark colored coupes
Good luck!

i dis-assembled all trim around the plexiglass trim and its nearly impossible to remove it because its glued with silicone and its possible to break the damn thing if i try too hard.
In Peru its impossible to find Plastidip or the VHT Night shades spray so the other way its to just wrap the plexiglass with black vinyl.
Tomorrow i will buy the black vinyl and i will try to stick it without air bubbles.
A friend told me about a water + soap solution method that its suppose to be very easy and air bubble free.
I will keep you guys updated!
