    I'm interested in tinting the windows on the Prime with a very light tint for solar heat gain mainly, not to have dark windows. I'm pretty demanding detail-wise and I have some bad tint jobs in the past (specks of dust under the tint, lines around the defroster lines, etc.). Given the install difficulty of the Prime's hatch glass I'm hoping to use a really good shop to minimize the chances for trouble.

    Does anybody have any recommendations?

    I used these guys on my 2010 Prius and my 2019 Prime. The 2010 tint was still perfect when I sold it. I went with Johnson Marathon MN35, which is one shade darker than what I chose on the 2010. The installer owns a Prime and is a wizard with a knife. Perfect installation. I paid $160 for all windows except the windshield and lower rear hatch.

    Will be getting mine done with 3m Crystalline at G5 Tint in Alhambra. If you want the best performance, you can get Spectra Photosync at ExtremeAutowerks in Brea.
