Mazda 3 MPS booked in

Got one booked in, anyone done one of these before?

Anything to be worried about?

Thanks

No worries, that things a walk in the park

Easy Easy Easy

her in the states they have 2 different rear wings. the low one we take off. the high one we leave on. everything else is easy

old mps
i work in mazda dealership
1.7 hours
new mps (or any MAZDA3) 2 hrs, similar windows only longer i found
not sure why they take longer but i think the side edges are deeper set and more prone to creases. (nothing the heat gun and lil chisler cant fix though)

easy? i must really suck then cuz i cannot figure out how to shrink the back window? i try to wet shrink it since ive never seen any instruction how to shrink any other way and i cannot get the back window done at all.....any advice????

or take it to a pro....

ya well, taking it to a pro doesn't help me any. and i tried dry shrinking. did the soap method. everything went smoothly except one thing. i had it all layed out flat but 6 inches from the bottom and top of the BG i couldn't get to lay flat. like i said tho the i got all the middle layed out except for 6 inches from the bottom and top....so anybody know what i might have done wrong? i knew i should have taken a pic that might have made it easier

haha that guy is an a**hole (not literally) he made it look so easy. i guess i need to use a utensil like he does, i was just using my hand covered with a glove, thanks for the link Booms2Go

yaya....i said it lol

i dont even worry about the wings any more, i just snap lil window like that after the plotter cuts it out. barley any heat at all.

snap? i've seen that term a couple of times on this forum (only been a member for a week) can you elaborate?

Dude....You need to learn to dry shrink properly before You even think about snapping. When You snap film, you need to be able to "read" the film to know when its formed enough. Just ask Jeff.....

ok, ya when i read it on the some other posts i figured it was way over my head but i got a monte carlo and a stratus comin in so i'll practice my dry shrinking on those

Your talking a Mazda 3 hatch right? Man, you need to learn to dry shrink before tackling a customers car. Those are sooo easy. 45 minutes out the door.

What She said......

This photo is of the older model.
The new one (2009) is a PITA because of the rear spoiler and the sedan (2009) update model I did today requires one real big shrink which it is none to happy about playing ball.

easy money dude
