always found them to be kinda hard, usually A LOT of dirt in the older ones...cut on the outside, trim film on the inside at the top

I cut the outer pieces on the outside of the truck a little bigger, trim on the inside w/o peeling liner, and cut the 2 inner pieces on the inside of p/u gives a much cleaner edge. good luck with the dirt!!! Scrub with a white scrubbie, scrub again...still getting dirt on ptowel, scrub again. Run your knife along the gaskets seperating them a little easier. when appling tint dont spray window, instead spray the hell outta the film.

I ALWAYS CUT THE CENTER OF THE SLIDING FROM THE INSIDE AND AND THE 2 BIG TRIANGLE LOOKING WINDOWS FROM THE OUTSIDE AND CUT IT REAL TIGHT

dude all u need to do is cut the shape outside close and then trim the gasket on the inside. its hard but,it looks way better that way. and good luck w/the dirt.

yeah if the lower ones are rusty we take a drill to them. you dont need to put another screw in there cuz the the threads will be pokin out a 1/4" and it will line up with the whole in the track. the top ones always unscrew out






For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
