Windows - Easily pull out sweeps, just take out the screw on outside of panel towards you. - no need to snap/heat shrink whatsoever! Super easy BG - piece of cake! - i didnt pull the rear deck, i just took my olfa and cut the rubber pieces that stuck to the bg. It was still a little rough to get behind there with a bulldozer, but came out clean! Overall Difficulty: 1/5! one of the easiest cars i've done.

On the Milan, there is a bunch of gasket covering the quarters. I did one yesterday (not the first one I have done) and was curious if anyone knew an easy way of getting the gasket out. It looked like it would come out easily, but I had no luck, and wasn't willing to spend a lot of time on it, but it does look kinda crappy with the whole quarter not tinted. Are the Ford 500/Taurus the same way? I can't remember.

The panels come off rather easy, but heres a heads up. Behind the cougar emblem, theres a philips head screw. Below that, theres a round clip with another one in it. Theres two torx screws on the edge, and one on the inside edge. On the inside corner towards the near the bottom, theres another torx behind the clip. After that they practically fall off. Easy car.

Simple car, but very tall. Get your ladder out to reach the back window for cleaning/shrinking. No need to remove the entire door panel on this one. Just remove the screws near the top of the panel, and pull back on the top to release one compression clip near the center. The gasket just slides out then, kinda like the Dodge trucks from the late '90s. The back glass is easy to get at from the inside, and easy to shrink, except for the fact that I had to basically sit on the trunk to reach the whole thing. The trunk lid came up to my chest, and the roofline was nearly taller than me.

Third brake light 1 2
by Guest Guest_Braud Spectrum- 15 replies

I have always had a fit with these. Both Fords and Mercurys. This one happened to be a 96 Marquis. It comes out just fine...just two screws...but those dumb plastic things that hold the screws want to slide out of positon on the plastic teethy things and I can never align them correctly to get the screws back in. I fought it for at least twenty minutes today. Finally I took the slider piece with the screw hole completely out and stuck them up in the light itself, screwed them in and was miraculously able to slide them back in all as one unit. But naturally I had forgotten to plug the stupid thing in so I had to start all over. ...Not without some severe cussing. Is th…

Auto window tint claims/performance question
You don't. You trust the shop or you don't. Do you question everything like this? Did I get an Angus steak? Was it US or Mexico? Was it really an 8 oz or was it 7.8 oz? -

Auto window tint claims/performance question
Thank you for the explanation gentlemen. I definitely learned something new today. As a average consumer, say you pay for a specific type/brand of tint but after you get the car back, how does one knows that tint on the car is what you asked for? Thank you again. -

Help me pick?!
How long the shop has been around helps but the work they do is more telling. There are shops I know that have been "around" longer than I have but I was killing them in quality from the start. Here I am 24 years in. Go look at the work they do. -

Auto window tint claims/performance question
So you aren't measuring IR but a generic "solar heat". I've got the old analog btu meter and it was a cool tool but I don't use it and have not for probably 20 years. You are way overthinking this.- 1

Hey guys, correct if I'm wrong but isn't " V-Kool " a gimmick film. Apparently something about it reflects IR instead of absorbing it ?? Any knowledge on this film? -

How -tough- is the scratch coat
On a SUV, when u have it loaded up, and you know when something/somethings will touch the back glass (if tinted), I often throw a mover towels ontop as I have definately replaced rear tint in this due to it getting scratched.... Which got me thinking or over -thinking. Movers towel while not hard is not exactly soft... Do I need to throw a *soft* microfiber towel on it so if it rubs against the back glass, it won't scratch the tint. -

What is the best value plotter to cut PPF and window tints?
I just purchased a warehouse to open up a wrap shop to apply PPFs, window tints, and vinyl wraps to customer vehicles. What is the best value plotter to get? I want something that will be reliable, has a really good software that is easy to use and saves film, and something that would break the bank. Ive heard of brands like the Workhorse 2, Graphtec fc9000, and Jaguar V LX 72". What do you guys recommend?! Thank you so much for the help! -
