Hi Ray
I did a rangee the other week it was a P reg ,if you are looking from the outside you can see the big black rubber up the top and you cant slide film up underneath it ,I dont know how to take the glass out so I just tinted tight to the rubber didnt look the best though because you could see where the film ended and that big black rubber not coverd, still to cut the temp I used liner of the film then binned it sorry.If the one you are doing has got the black rubber im on about and manage a way of getting underneath the rubber without removing the glass would you let me know .
thanks

sorry dude dont keep paterns just pop the quarters out thats the only real way to get inthere with no gaps wot year range are you tintin dude just remember most older ranges have crusty crappy rubbers n stuff

no probs dale but im thinking of trying to take them out like sd said its the only way to get a good instal, ive tryed cutting to size before and it always looks crap.

once uve seen 1 taken out n replaced ul get the hang of it its easy realy its quite strange cos glass is kinda flexible

doin it thursday, when you take the little quarters out is it just the bottom gasket you take off? ray

open back door prise rub rail from top of door card,one small screw on outside of door trim on end of door by the 1/4 light undo it pull trim up a bit gently as not to bend it, then start to push rubber gasket from inside out just to tuk it under most way round, then window should start to push out from top just be carefull , when fitting put bottom back in first you could use string round the gasket lip to pull it back in or just use your fingers to do it ,if you get stuck give me a call

thanx again ian dont worry iv'e got your number , expect a call sometime on thursday
thanx again m8

If you want i am doing a range rover on thursday if you want to bring it over you can

this may be a little late. but here goes for anyone else if you leave extra film on the srtaight edge. you can make a 45 degree angle cut on the inside of the glass rubber. to give you some hide space. all the way around the rubber gasket. then you can hide the light by sliding it back. and cutting along the stright edge

best way is how tint wizard said.....take the strip off the outside door which sits under the glass.....remove or loosen the panel and push the top of the 1/4 glass rubber with your thumbs...u will see it move outwards just be carefull not to break it!!.....take the rubber off and tint the glass. if u can put it in front of a heater while u r tinting the rest of the car. when u have finished the car i put vaseline on the rubber seal to let it slip easier but its a hell of a job becuase the rubber is so tight!!! i then use speaker wire to put into the channels on the rubber and start with the bottom of the glass in first exactly how it came out and then start pulling the wire so the rubber pulls back in place. hope that makes it a lil clearer

Hi
I'm just getting into this tinting game and am just about to buy a load of tint, I've been buying just about enough to do each car until now.
My question is which film is best?
I've got samples from stockfilms in Barnet which supply Madico film and samples from Window films direct which supplies Nexfilm. The Nexfilm is considerably cheaper than the Madico working out at £*edit* for a 36" x 30 metre roll.
Any suggestions on which film to buy would be great help!!

No prices on the site please. Can I mod jump on that please.

If you are a newbie I would start with the cheaper film and try and work your way up.

Did a 1999 Range Rover at the weekend...

Remove doorcard...two crosshead screws under armrest, one crosshead on door release handle plastic trim(trim then slips forwards).
Pull card towrds you, clips are push fit. Lift card up and over doorlock pin. Release speaker wire.
Pull back foam weatherstrip (mastic sticky stuff needs released). Unscrew 8mm bolt that holds metal vertical channel in place - channel seaparates 1/4 from the roll-up window.
Undo 2 crosshead screws to top of door. pull off rubber gasket inside the car. Take care - metal frame - do not bend.
Two crosshead screws either end of door releases the exterior horizontal trim between glass and body.
Pull off exterior gasket, metal frame again, do not bend.
1/4 glass with rubber surround should be able to be eased towards front of car. Ease out, take to bench, heat the rubber and remove the glass.
Instal is reverse, obviously, but remember your metal frames. Ease corners in first, ease some of area surrounding the corner in, go back and firmly locate the corner then work your way around.
On leading edge of internal gasket, ease in corner, then ease in lower loose edge, then firm up the rest of that edge. Failure to do this will result in the lower edge not locating properly.
Once you have done one, they come out and back in quite quick.

I do them with the panels in place, just push the quarters out by folding the rubber with my fingers, pull it in with some string. A 5 min job but it makes all the difference.
