You can tint with the glass in situ. Just a damn sight easier if it's out.

You can't do the LHR on a Westy in situ. The cupboard's WAY too close.

I had mine done in Limo (excluding the cab) earlier in the year and couldn't be happier, for reasons most people have mentioned - before I had them tinted I felt like I was in a goldfish bowl sometimes, if I parked up having a cup of tea or working on my laptop. I've also stuck in some curtains that run behind the cab seats, so it now feels more like my panel van did.
As for getting them done - I paid someone. I'm self employed so it usually works out better to pay a professional to do the job quickly while I earn the money to pay them, than it does for me to take time off to do it slowly and badly myself. First place I spoke to said he wouldn't do it without removing the window seals, and wouldn't remove my windows seals as he was scared of what was underneath
Second person said no problem doing it with the seals in place, and he did a good job.

Bloke that did mine managed to do it with the wardrobe in place (devon wardrobe, very narrow gap). I think the film was cut to shape on the outside of the window, then just slid behind the wardrobe inside.
