Good idea. I do something similar with ppf, Only I use 3m pre-mask for my template. The stuff is extremly expensive tho. Im guessing freezer paper is much cheeper.

Thanks for the tip

This might be a dumb question, but on some carss, the AS1 mark is not present on some windshields. How far down the windshield is AS1?

Thanks. Took a while to find it, but tint terrorist had a good way of doing it with the roll holder. I had to read it a few times to figure out what the hell he was saying, but I got it.  :inot

I've heard it's measured from the seat position.

With the seat all the way back measure 29 inches up from the lowest part of the seat, then horizontally to the glass.

(I'm not sure about the 29 inches)

[Guest pAiNtBaLlEr88]

Oh, I always thought they measured it with the height. The method you described does seem more logical due to the variation of the area of sight on different cars. I like your method of doing that TD, but I don't understand how to get that line that you draw from the several marks from each inch to be parallel, or am I missing something?

I'll try to illustrate it....hold on, be right back

I, personally, like the natural curve that the the factory edge gives you... on modern cars....... the cut TD is talking about I like on muscle trucks, that where I use his method

Thanks TD.

FX, so you need to cut the tint a little differently when doing a visor on the newer, modern cars since they have a factory curve to them? Annnd, I'm guessing if it is curved and the visor is big enough, you'd have to wet shrink the film first before installing?
