Falcon,

There is no reason I canthink of as to why it would not work. The hardest part of applying it would be to get all the air bubbles out due to the was the windscreen curves. For sure it would be best to remove the windscreen in order to make the inside of it more accessable. When it comes to tinting, windows or, in this case windscreens, are usually the most dificult to do. I have tinted windows on cars I have owned in the past and I find a straight window with no curves the easiest to do. Good luck if that's the route you decie to go.

You will find that your screen curves in 2 dimensions so fitting this type of tint will be impossible

You could always try to tint it in sections. Cut the tint into strips and then put each strip on one at a time from top to bottom. Thats how it was done on my 87 Shelby GLH-S Charger. Worst case, you will end up buying one of the tinted screens.
