Horizontal lines of contamination on roll downs

[Guest darkdan]

Once in a while, like 25% of the time, I'll get a horizontal line of contamination.

I know what it's from, it's from the water running out of the side and onto the film.

Now matter what I try I can't figure out how to avoid it on a consistant basis. I try pulling more liner, I try pulling less liner, I try squeeging closer to where it's peeled, I try not squeeging anything but the top, I tried flushing the sides more, I've tried keeping the sides dryer, I've tried keeping the film more curved, I've tried saying screw it I'll heat the creases out later.

It's getting to the point where I may start pulling panels or ripping out more gaskets.

Whazzup dan! Man-its so hard to diagnose your problem without seeing you tint!I sure there is a simple fix! Just a small change in technique! I know the problem-but havent had it happen in years!

try flushing the sides real good befor you lay the tint, spray the out of them.

clean em real good so dirt has no chance of suckin back into the tint.

pull the panels

Also try keeping the liner side of the film clean, squeegee up and away from the corner along the sides .

On some cars, depending on the felt, it's a good idea to not only flush the heck out of the bottom once you've rolled them up, but to also do a final squeegee right where the seal was BEFORE you rolled the window up. Hope that makes sense

you might try 2" masking tape arround the gaskets

[Guest BLACKOUT SoKal]

you need an advocado, a snorkel, and 2 rolls of duct tape

pull the panels
