when ur done shrinking out ur rear window....
use the window snapping method to roll or curle ur edge lightly on the top and bottom it will allow the tint to fit the window like a glove and prevent any unwanted fingers works very well and it seems to make it stick better on the dot matrix.... beer.gif

i tried it just a lil bit ago. didnt work for me. every where i snapped...i had to catch it with some heat after the install.

I've been telling people to do this for a while.

Personally, I just wet the bottom and top and force up a few extra fingers.

thats called a wet check, might as well wet the whole thing and squegee out so its all nice and flat then when you make all your cuts makes it easier to see.

A wet check just checks fit.

Which if you dry shrank and smoothed it then it should fit.

I'm talking about purposely forcing up extra fingers to shrink them.

if you ever snap shrunk its totally different from a wet check when you snap it adds a curve to the tint #1 and when you install it with a curve to the shrink it cling to the glass extra tight #2 so it is not a wet check get it got it good

I'm well aware of what snap shrinking is, I've been doing it on side windows for well over a year and a half now.
