Greetings Had a 04 Seat Ibiza sport Booked Saturday just gone, Rear window looked Quite Curvy Absolutely the worst time getting it on in one. Got it 3rd time, baby powder Horizontal line left the side anchors 3rd time. Kept cooking bottom edges, Then turned down heat could not get them fingers to go, Quite curved on top as well (Rare) 3 rd attempt left loads at top & when i cooked it moved it down, Seemed to go ok then Checked makes & models No mention of an ibiza Any one else had a tough time with these BG`s, Realy thinking of changing film as struggled to get it to lay right Dont normally struggle with most, Advice required for next one as his friends threatening to book one in with us  What films are most of you using as I hear one of the main players went Bust.... Or is was it just 1 of them days, Dont struggle with 2 much, Give me a Previa as compared to 1 of them. LOL

Thats just one of those days. Ibiza is not supposed to be that hard, but that can be up to the film you are using... I use Llu and have no problem with any of them, but when I tried DartZ I had problems and still have with the curvier ones

Yeah Thats my Problem Then, Quite like Dartz film handles well for me Normally Had No solar gard left, otherwise would have used it as i know that shrinks so Easy, Was giving Dartz the Benefit of the Doubt, Cant you do something with your film LEO

soap on a rope for me, well, actually the bitter in a glass shaped soap on a rope that you used to get as a kid for christmas

My opinion, it's the combination filmquality together with the shrinking technique that makes you install a windowfilm properly !

Got no problem shrinking film, Dartz will only shrink so much, imo takes 2 long 2 shrink, Couldnt get anymore shrinking out of it for that BG without cooking a bit. used sunguard on other Vehicles before & couldnt get on well with it, shrinks very well but film was really thin, Have ordered Johnsons today so going to give that a go on some installs. did hear Vinyl logistics did some decent tint Suntek from memory, But when i called them last said they were out of stock. Anyone know if its back in yet or another supplier ?

Agree with Dartz, does take time to shirnk, some of there stuff is good, goes on well and shrinks ace, and other time it takes time......
Lumar?

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
