Focus bg

[Guest wstaylor81]

Do I need to heat shrink the back glass of a '03 Focus hatch or can I do it in one piece without shrinking?

[TintDude]

Yup, it needs shrinking.

Not trying to start a fight, but why would someone with 5 years exp. want to know something like that?

Stick some film on the outside, cut it a out, and see where you stand from there.

Look closer, that's .5 (half year).

for the record nearly all back glass's need shrinking. The only exception I can think of off hand is the VW fox and some older Vovlo models.

what I usually do is I lay the back glass on the outside and prepare it for shrinking. them I do the rest of the car, cut and install. by the time im ready to shrink the back glass, most of the moisture has evaporated and that make any glass easier to shrink.
