00-06 Ford Crew Cabs, Rear Slider Issue

[ssmobiletint]

I've tinted quite a few of the ford crew's with the slider. However, I have never gotten around leaving small lightgaps around the corner edges of the left and right windows. I cant trim the grommets cuz the plastic is too hard, so I cut from the outside and make my final trims as I'm laying the film.

I ask because I had a customer specifically come in and asked for it to be done without this. I know, @#%al ass customer that wants perfection, but..., is this possible? Without Vinyl or opaquing, is there a trick to make this look better? does anyone else have this prob? I'm going to tell the customer he's out of luck, but just for my own knowlege, I just wanted to know if its possible or anyone has the same issue on these.

One of these:

Maybe considered a hack tool but somtimes it'll work.

heat the plastic up on the inside around the edge of the glass with your heatgun, once it's warm you can trim out the plastic an 1/8th inch or so. it gives you enough room to hide the film edge.

That there's a nice tip blade! Maybe I'll just throw out my blackout pen

Thats exactly what I was looking for!!!!! I had one come in before that was trimmed and I kept wondering how that was possible. Perfect! Thanks man!

I want to try it now, but I don't think I want to on that 4|\|4L customer, maybe on the next guy who doesn't look so hard. Thanks again Blade

Galaxy Boy posted this awhile back...it works great

Another suggestion...tell him to trade in in on an 08 Ford finally did something right
