I did, but it was a long time ago. I used a YouTube video to do it. That dont look like tint. That looks like something a vampire might use to move in daylight.


Some nice doors. Good looking panels.

It is there so you dont have to stare at the bracket for the electric mirrors. If you remove it, you wont be able to get more window view unless you are using the manual mirrors.

The 73 uses thick windows. Later trucks have the thin windows. I forgot the year they changed. Be sure to use the right window surround gasket.

Better learn to live with it. Lol, that would suck. Looks like a half assed tint removal job. I have never seen that before. I have owned many 91 Suburbans.

Doesn't appear baked in, I swear I see an edge sticking up.

Yeah I really don't know the process they used. It's like the same stuff they used for the black borders on newer cars. And it was only on Burbs with power mirrors.

Yeah I’ll not destroy them. They’re so beautiful I’ll hang on to them. Maybe I’ll find someone who needs nice burban glass. The doors are great too. I might keep them in case something (god forbid) happens to mine. Can’t inagine there are doors of better quality out there. Being a 91 I expect they’re the best GM offered for a square.
