Gen1 Rear windshield tint?

I had great success tinting the side windows in my gen1 they were easy and turned out almost flawless. however i attempted to tackle the rear windshield with a different outcome. I read that you either have to do it in strips or heat shrink the tint before hand. I could pay a shop to do it for me but would much rather do it myself for cheap. I would prefer to do it in 1 piece but i dont want to waste a bunch of time heat shrinking and cutting. so i was wondering if anyone knows of a kit or anything i can get that will have the tint pre formed to fit the contour of the rear windshield? thanks

your going to have bubbles if you dont do strips or heat shrink. Kits are just precut, you still have to shrink it. I was going to try but i got pissed at the side windows and threw all the tint in the garbage.
