Quarter windows made easy

[Guest tintdawg]

Ever had problems with quarter glass because of the rubber being on the tight side. You know, we've all pinched a corner or got too much dirt from trying to get the film in. Well here's a trick I learned. Hope it helps you on those stubborn cars that dont want film on their quarter windows.

1st. Find yourself a stuborn car with a tight 1/4 window.

2nd. Get some wire cutters and some 16 gadge BLACK wire.

3rd. Eyeball the top edge of the window and cut to fit.

4th. Using a bone, push the wire up into the rubber, get it all in there, none of it showing. On the top edge only.

Now you will be left with a big gap that the film can easly slide around in.

LEAVE WIRE IN, DO NOT REMOVE. Just leave the wire in there, someday a glass guy will say WTF when he finds it.

Hope that helps you out. This can be done pretty fast when you get the hang of it.

is it easy to get the wire out after applying the film?

I used to give the guy who showed me this a hard time,a really hard time, untill I tried it. I only use it on cars with really tight rubbers. It works very well, and now I thank him for showing me this trick, It's saved me before. It's just one of those 'tricks'.

Leave the wire in. You dont even know it's there.

do you push the wire in far enough to where you cant see it from the outside..?..just curious..

for me..by the time I do all that..I could have the panel off and the window out..
