I cracked a f150 windshield also because I didn't have the right tool. best thing you could do is let it go without the f.strip until you have the right tool.

:thumb and they rattle after you've broken the factory bond and put them back on

If you'll cut it contoured to the as1 line and keep it legal you can cut around the bracket when trimming on the outside

I have broken to many just send it on its way without on to much of a risk in my opinion.

Or you can hack it and put a small slit at the bottom of the strip that creates a small seam below the rear view mirror. :lol2 That way you can slide it over the rear view mirror. I had to do this a few times on older trucks where I wasn't going to even try to remove the rear view mirror due to possible breakage and customers didn't mind at all. You leave it sitting around for a few hours in the sun and get a lil chizler on it, you can barely see the seam.

Well I borke it.. The mirror that is...

I took a quick ride to work and grabed the shop manule.

In the book it says to rotate mirror up and down and hit it to release it from the ball and socket part of the mirror. :lol2 To reinstall revirse procedure. :lol2

So I did it the way the ford manule says..

came off very easy going back on was 20 min. of puhhing and hitting.. finally resulting in breaking :lol2

after that I was looking at it and the way I cut it I would not of had o take it off :lol2 :lol2 :lol2

Well that god I work for Ford and will cover it under warranty :lol2

but does kinda suck to have to explain to the costomer

      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?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
