B/G install for Audi tt and 350z

with the audi tt and the 350z the window is to far away to easily install what is the best way. I have heard that you can you some sort of technique where you peel the liner and spray and lay the liner back down then peel it off when you install but how does this work or is there any other way
Thanks in advance

i did the rev roll on my first one piece b/g. the one piece worked out. hehe but the rev roll was tough.. does it get easier? also i didnt have a drum stick,so i used about a 10-12 inch piece of pvc pipe the white stuff. i just cut it with a h@ck saw, scuffed the edges up with some sand paper,an voila,lol but it seems clumsy,an a lil bit cumbersome.. but again was my 1st time..

I just did the TT last week. Reverse rolling worked excellent. I do not use a tube or anything inside of my roll, just roll the film to about a one to two inch diameter, and the stiffness of the film and liner will keep the integrity of the roll. IMO that works so much better, 'cause you do have a little bit of bend to play with, and you don't have to worry about the length of your PVC pipe (or whatever you use to roll around). Not using a tube inside your roll also helps with navigating around third brake lights if present.

Yep, stopped using my skinny tube inside too, no need for it and it made the roll a little more difficult handle halfway thru because of the added wieght tryng to pull it down. Also the last foot or so is alot easier if there's no tube there.

K.I.S.S. the only ting i do different is i leave like a 2" strip right up the middle (just b4 the brake light on the unroll) where no slip is sprayed before rolling. so you can adjust the 1st half of the film on the glass and shift around if needed. with out the roll taking off while your looking away.

I'm trying to picture Donovan McNabb tinting a 350Z. (No I'm not an Eagles fan, esp. not after what Atlanta did to them last night).

on the 350 the method i use is to put the seat down and lay my feet in the trunk, so it's almost like i'm doing a long ass sit up, good for the abs though
