Illuminating 'Gran Coupe' hidden by tint on rear windows...

Hi, I think I read on a thread that a member had tried to fix this, or had a solution - the Sun Protection Glass looks great but with it you can no longer see the GC logo through the glass of each rear door.

Contemplating a solution but not convinved. Anyone tried illuminating it or know of a solution (apart from cutting a silly hole on the tint - that has already been suggested LOL)?

Thanks!

if your could get that part made in clouded clear acrylic you could probably rig some LED's to light it up.. which would be asweome.

As the pioneering innovator in this endeavor I would expect it to be pretty pricey. You would need the plastic water or laser cut, unless by some miracle the GC is clear under the chrome.

Thank you for your suggestion and help, but that sounds beyond my means. I'll let you know if I come across another alternative.

I bought the 6GC for its refined elegance. So the muted Gran Coupe chrome work under the sun protection GLASS (not a tint by the way) doesn't bother me. But I guess for those it does, you could affix the chrome work to the outside glass near the hoffmeister kink. It's going to look desperate and posy but that's the whole point, isn't it?
