Kudo's to you man. Reminds me of doing work to my old 99 Sierra 2500. It had similar issues compared to you. I finally threw in the towel after I was done messing with its million problems and dumping my paycheck into it. Man I do miss that old truck. My 07 just doest give me the same feeling that one did.
I haven't has any issues yet either. 20% on the doors and rear window and a 5% tint strip about 4 inches down from the as1 line. I think in PA the majority of cops don't care.
New member here just looking through the thread and am enjoying what I see. I'll have to post up a thread of my rehab of my 99 RCLB Sierra 2500 when I get the time.
