Not as easy to slide the film in the sides on the doors. Caught me of gaurd, I over cut the film alot on the last body style. They have a really tight rubber on the sides, by the by.

They are tight for sure ..what I do is take a bit of pure dish soap (right from the container) put it on my finger and run it along the rubber track . I do this after my final clean to the window , roll the clean window down , apply , roll it back up to the height you would for installing film. when you go to install , push the glass forward as you slide the film in and once the film hits the soaped up tint..it does seem to slide in better. smile22.gif

Flaugh.gif Actually it did. Well, sort of. I did the rear doors first and forgot about the tight seals. No issues with them, they've got room with out a problem. Then I go to do the driver's front... yeah, crazy tight at the top rear corner. Managed to get it in fine after really pushing on the window, tricky to squeege the water out after too. Checked to see if passenger's was as tight... Yup. So I did the dish soap thing on it. It was definitely easier to slide the film in, still had to push hard on the window though. CRAZY easy car to do though, everything is easy and wide open. No shrink to side windows, rubbers at the bottom come out easy enough, nothing in the way of the rear window and it's hardly a shrink at all, little rear quarter windows aren't in the doors and have matrix around then with tons of room, tinter's dream for sure. I'm slow as hell and I think it took about an hour and 40... including a pretty long break to chat with someone and have a beer Flaugh.gif
