It's not worth it. You'll never shrink the back right and chances are you'll **** up the sides as well. I believe you have to use a heat gun on the side windows.. as my tinter did that as well..
I'll snap some pictures tomorrow if I can.. I have 5% on all windows and the back.. looks awesome I think and I love the privacy..!
But FP.. if you want to try here's some "starter" tips..

It's something I tried 3 times.. and i'm not really an idiot when it comes to these things either.. by the 3rd time it was tolerable but definitely you could tell it was a "DIY" job..
I then paid a professional 125$ to do it out of his house using high quality film, and I would never try to tint a window again..
what he said,
if you botch up the rear window with the defrost lines that means time to get a new window you can tear up the defrost lines.
if you want to practice do the front windows and side windows but you use a mixture of like soapy water and get it placed right and then use a heat gun and squeege to get the bubbles out and lay it right.
if you do a good job on the front and sides a shop will charge you $50-$75 to do the rear and it is well worth it so you do not have to worry about bubbles in the tint.
