steve, just as I post up a rude boy thread I stumble across this 

Its wicked innit  30mm spacers on the back next

Stupid tint , got it perfect cut then torn off the backing film and the wind blew it onto itself

If applying tint, use plenty of water with a SMALL dash of washing up liquid.  You need to 'float' the film to the glass.  I tend to use a spreader card (used for adding filler to body panels) wrapped in felt to 'push', the bubble from the middle out.  A sharp scalpel is a must also.

Heat gunned just like they showed in utube ... burnt it at the last minute 
Persisted and just cut to shape then trimmed and heated ..
Both rears and quarters done , just the back screen to do which Will be fun im  sure

The rear window has a deep curve and the tint wont
react to heat shrink in the proper manor , the pleets wont shrink out 
I think its because the tint is not supple enough so you end up either melting
it or creasing it ..
Wonder how much they charge for doing just a rear window

Say what now? 

Take the shelf out yourself (Ten minutes) and say to them "TA-DAAAAA"....

Or use a tinting firm who know what they are doing.


Modern films have a 'memory'.  Use the exterior of the glass to 'shape' the film and then apply it in the normal way to the interior of the window.

S'not rocket!

Did say it's one for the professionals, they make it look so easy. It's worth it though
