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…

What is an established commercial/residential business worth?
Gross 50-60? You could find that kind of revenue picking up cans. Whatever you're about to spend should be spent to market your own brand unless I'm reading this wrong. -

What is an established commercial/residential business worth?
Looking to buy an established commercial/residential business. The company has grossed about 50-60k annually for the past few years. There's not really anything as far as assets go. So I'd basically be buying the phone number and 25+ years of being an established business. Just trying to get an idea of what I should be paying! Thanks in advance!! -

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.- 2

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?
