There are plenty of "how to" sites on the web. Seems you can place the tinting on the outside of the curved glass to cut to fit, then using a heat gun or hair dryer, heat it to conform to the shape of the glass. Then install on the inside of the glass, of course.
Keep in mind, I haven't tried this and only read it on one of those online sites. So, I guess you could call this "un-advice". But does make sense.
Did some searching and found a site that explains what I tried to explain above.

Don is rite,, we do a fair amount of auto tint ... you can only heat shrink the film one way.... upper and lower sides... first make the fingers uniform with your hand to get them manageable.... using a heat gun apply heat until finger turns into a xmas tree look... than apply your squeege... or at beginning use just your hand to gently get smaller.... if it is too curved we do the window in 2 pieces... let me know what kind of vehicle it is and i'll try and help out more....
have to change email.. on signature.. it should be trimline@canada.com
