Kind of like a Ford Taurus but the back tray is smashed on the glass for the bottom !/2 inch. Beware- cut perfect or remove the rear dash. (Not too many of these out there luckily.)

I tried shrinking the back glass by shrinking the bottom first then setting the film down and shrinking the top of the film. It has vinyl top. When I installed I had huge fingers. Any suggestions? also is it necessary to remove the brake light?

I am having one heck of time trying to get my back window tinted on my MKZ. I went to Danny's Family Car Wash (One Armor) at their San Tan Village location and ended up purchasing Huper Optik Drei because I wanted to try and block as much heat as possible...this is Arizona after all and it's going to start getting quite hot. The installer said they had tinted a 2013 MKZ a few weeks ago and it shouldn't be a problem. My MKZ is a Hybrid and has the panoramic roof, which slides back over the top of the rear window. About 30 minutes into the install, the installer came and got me and said they have a problem. The installer pointed out that the rear window deck was presse…

Have a customer inquiring about this, gave me the typical "they're just flat windows should be easy for you" line from him. Does the back window need to come out? Do you pop panels or cut rubber seals? Any advice appreciated lol

Well this car kicked my ass. If I was to do a second one now I would fly throught it. I only tinted the back half of the car. Top of the panels pulled back, and I grapped the sweeps. I taped the felt on the quarter windows. The back seat came out with just two 10mm bolts by the seat belts. The brake light was a pain. Two screws on top, 4 underneath in the truck. then the deck can be pulled out. The back window wasnt that bad of a strink, but the dots were a pain to get to stick right.

THIS CAR WASN'T VERY FUN, VINYL OVERLAPPED REAR WINDOW & ONE SIDE ON REAR ROLL DOWNS. VERY CAREFUL CUTTING ON THIS CAR, CHARGE OUT THE AZZ ($250-UP). DO YOUR NORMAL DRY SHRINK (CAREFULLY) CUT ABOUT 1/2" BIGGER ALL AROUND. WHEN CUTTING OUT FOR DEFROSTER HOOK UPS, LOOK AT YOUR CUT YOU MAY HAVE TO POSITION THE FILM HIGHER OR LOWER SO YOU DONT HAVE A LIGHT LEAK. AFTER YOU HAVE INSTALLED FILM, IT WILL NEED SOME HEAT. NOT TOO MUCH YOU WILL BURN UP THE VINYL. THIS CAR SUCKS [/size][/font][/font][/b][/b][/b]

I assume this car is lincons version of the ford fusion. The whole car is easy to tint EXCEPT for the gay little quarter windows on the back door....I have NO IDEA what ford was thinking about then they designed this crap. The little window is set in a rubber gasket that is has about 1 1/2 - 2 inches REVEAL, there is NO way to tuck the film that far because its tight as hell. If you guys are familiar with how a new body style accord quarter glass is you will understand this one. This design makes the whole tint job look lke crap.

There appears to be a scratch on the window surface (is there an outer plastic layer on the factory glass?). Where the scratch is, it's now clear, so it appears that a factory tint layer was scratched. The customer wants this fixed first before we tint it. Thanks. How do we repair this scratch?

Anyone have any experience with Madico 35% tint on an 02 Lincoln Town Car? I got a recommendation for a local shop that uses Madico so I wanted to get any insight that I could before I had the work done. Aside from Madico, does anyone know of a specific film manufaturer or shade that looks particularly good? I live in Upstate NY, so I can't go much darker than 35% without serious issues. If anyone has suggestions, as always, they're appreciated! busaj

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening. -

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 -

Process
Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape? -

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money! -

Boat window tinting tips
The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.- 1

Boat window tinting tips
Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!- 2
