Tips on tinting the back glass

I'm looking for any tips that could be had for tinting the back glass using tinting film. I did the side windows easily, because they're flat, but the back had enough of a curve that it threw me...well a curve. I don't have a heat gun but would a blow dryer on hot for an extened period of time work for stretching out the film?

Any thoughts or suggestions as always are appreciated.

You have to slice your tint into 4" or 5" strips and take it from there. This is not easy to get seams all aligned up and look good
good luck

either a heat gun or cutting it into strips...

I suggest you use the heat gun and only have one piece...
