Colorado door windows

If you tuck the film below the door felt on a Colorado you have to tuck it about an inch below or more. There is a secondary felt strip below the visible door felt molding inside the door. If you tuck the film below that gasket the film tends to finger up. To eliminate that problem, before you cut you film, roll the glass down. Take an extended olfa blade and just cut that inner felt gasket all the way off. Then install. Cake after that.

Well, with the help that you guys have given me I decided to put that to work. I found a way to use a 4x8 aluminum table. I was able to stand it upright on one set of the legs(it's real light). Now I have a transfer table!!!! 2nd, I bought a new sprayer from Llumar. I can't remember the model but it was one of the $13 ones. I also bought another squeegee. Can't have enough of those right?? The windows on this car were pretty easy to work with. They are kinda small on the sides. The back glass was a little hard for me but was able to 1 piece it. I had a few fingers wanting to pop up. For the life of me I could not get it to dry. I think that's mostly because…

did a 81 vette today and don't think I'll want to do this car again for quite a while. it came out perfect but my back and neck hurt from laying on my back installing the film. I had to have one of my guys heat the glass while I was inside because the corners where the big bend is kept popping loose. had minor contamination in a few spots around the edge but for a 25 year old car it was a great job, next time I'll charge more though

I had a new one today. The '06 Chevy Impala SS. It was a big pain in the arse! It has the fine matrix like the Malibus did. The 3 fixed headrests make you climb in the deep, fuzzy back deck It has rubber/silicone gaskets that placed way inside of the edge. I can see me pulling panels, and gaskets on the next one. Price 'em at about $900, and you should be O.K. Anyone got some tricks on this one? Mods, Please move this to makes and models in a little bit. Z Z

  What is an established commercial/residential business worth?
  
  I sold my business in '96 that had as assets: tools and inventory and goodwill. I bought it 2.5 years earlier for 5k. It had a gross sales # around 30K and very little goodwill since the owner only worked it part time. In the 2.5 years I ran the company, gross sales went from 30K upward to 177K as a one person operation. To be fair, the final year @ 177K included an installation sale involving 35K sq ft. Still I increased the gross from 30K to 100K under my direction in the 2.5 years of ownership. I sold the business in a short sale for 10K because I landed a corporate job at a film manufacturing company. I lacked the desire to further expand the business, but it was considered reputable even by my competitors. One of them bought it. Don't know if that helps but, maybe you'll find this helpful in determining the goodwill of the one you are considering buying. https://www.freshbooks.com/hub/accounting/calculate-goodwill

  Removable rigid window tint sheets - WTF?
  
  I created an account just to respond here. I'm not a "tinter" or whatever yall may call yourselves but I came across this product and thought that it looked pretty cool and something I could do myself. I ordered from Lazeway and spent like $150 for two packages. The product is from China although they claim all this America stuff on the website. All i received was two simple rolls of tint, nothing special. I was totally scammed and now I'm looking all over the internet for anyone talking about this product to let them know. Dont buy from them.

  Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

  Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
  
  Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you
