one pieace are two pieace
One piece. It's tough but can be done with care. Take it slow and easy. Shrink it on the outside first before you you install it. It tries to pop up when you install at the extreme curves. I just heat the glass and use a squeegie wrapped with a paper towel and work it. Now, I do get the glass and window rubber extremely clean before I even start. Sometimes I try to have the classics for at least a couple of days before hand so I can clean the window rubbers and glass really good. This gives the time needed for all that extra water to dry so I have less trouble with the water and dirt wicking up under the film.
Thanks you just mention how to solve one problem i appericated it

The alcohol helps it to dry faster and you can get ito stick. I forgot to mention that.
