citroen c3

not a very nice car to tint, rear window very curvy, front quaters take an hour plus to remove, all glass has to be shrunk, crappy fragile trims, wot a nightmare, not doing one of these again in a hurry

thanks for the info matt, I will adjust my pricing for this sucker!!

Front 1/4 lights bit of a pain but got them in ok, rear window took some time bit curvey but laid down ok

Hey Wiz........Having a bit of trouble getting the bottom to lay down.........I got the top sorted but the bottom is on the verge of over heating and under shrinking.......If that makes any sense.

Any tips for the bottom edge or is it just go for it and hope.

I did it dry (Baby powder) method cos wet was just an open invite for creases.

Do you find working from the middle out to the edges better on a dry shrink?

On a wet i was taught to work outside to inside but the dry method is something i'm picking up for my self and a few pointers would be really good.

Cheers.

sound like you've overcooked thge bottom if it does'nt wont to lay down on the glass when you're mounting it. Sometimes it's best to give it some heat and then move away, do another area and come back to it, gives it time to relax almost.

Cheers Naughty.

Patience prevailed and the job was finished today.

Couple of pics of the problem and then the finish.......rewarding though near suicidal when we first attempted it.

i`ve got a C3 coming in next week .

i havent seen it yet so we will have to see how it goes.

any thing i should know before i start ???

Be careful removing the rear spoiler if fitted - I know somebody that broke the back glass doing this.

Naughty

thanks for that,
i hope i dont need to.

i had a look at one at the dealers today, ( only from the outside ) that one just had a small lip spoiler on the top edge of the hatch, did not look like it would need removing.

i`ll let you know how i go with it.

dave

did the job today.

no spoiler to remove . back window is more curved than a gold fish bowl so i did it in 2 pieces , sat the full piece on the glass and thought .... no .
easy in two piece and has nice thick heater lines so cant see the join.

sides were no problem, no shrinking needed. (i think some one is just trying to scare me ) very top corners of front quarters are a bit hard to get at.
