Full Version: Dry Shrinking Back Window
My biggest challenge shrinking back windows are the corners. I can shrink the middle top and bottom pretty easily except for the corner because of the extreme curve. The finger are so big that when i try to heat it up a little bit, it usually creases. Are there any way I can make it easier on myself to be able to the shrink the corner better. Any advice is appreciated.
Where are you from..............
California
lift and pull the top.. do a search for it.
i like to curl the bottom edge a lil, it helps the film lift off the glass. then i go back to the middle and move across back and forth all the way down.
when i shrink the cornes on a curved window after middle is done i take the area and move the film around ( left to right) with my hand make the film lay flater on the window and heat it up and with my hand to smooth it out and then heat it up some more smooth it out again untile the corners are done being shrunk

Not a hard car by any means, but why do you cut around the 3rd brake light? There's plenty of room to get the film down behind it. Or is it illegal to tint over it in your state?
thats the way the customer wants it is not the car you think it is but it is a hyundia sonata
Why dont you cover the customer trunk lid with something instead of setting your tools on the paint job?
 I NEVER set my tools on a customers paint. QUOTE (TNTLady @ Oct 4 2009, 08:15 PM) [*]720751[/*] Why dont you cover the customer trunk lid with something instead of setting your tools on the paint job? I NEVER set my tools on a customers paint.  and i see that all the time 
don't make an H anchor, just make a straight one
just to stay on topic
it might help YOU.
Do your H Start in the center with the tunnels, do your best to push as much of those corner tunnels towards the center.... don't heat the same spot too much... if the tunnel is still there move it over slightly.. Start in the center and pull as much of it over there as you can ... you might try redistributing some of the tunnels to the top if possible... wow why is it so hard to speak how to do something... I could have finished the window by now lol.
How does one give tips on a technique they admit they don't know how to do?

So it's gotta be an Elantra. QUOTE (solar protect @ Oct 5 2009, 03:37 AM) [*]720782[/*] don't make an H anchor, just make a straight one Thats what I would do.
