Lift and Pull Shrink Method - VW Bug

The "Lift and Pull" Method for Heat Shrinking Window Film as Demonstrated on a VW Beetle
This is a demonstration of the wet, lift and pull method of heat shrinking window film. It allows a window tinter to install window film in one piece to the rear window of a VW Bug or any rear window for that matter. The VW Beetle rear window is particularly challenging to tint in one piece of film so it has been used here for demonstration purposes. This is not an easy technique to master and is not for the beginner.

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.
