Hey thanks for that TintDude and thanks for the quick reply.

Hey TintDude just been reading through the lift and pull shrink method. Im a bit confused do you still need to make a H on the glass, as when you pull the tint does it not slide off.

Yes, you need an anchor line, but not an H, just a horizontal anchor.

Is this the method thats used on most of the curved windows like on the golfs mk 4+, as I always try to use the dry shrink soap method with a H and struggle as some windows curve on the side at the end of the glass and have always wondered how to overcome this problem.

[TintDude]

Even dry shrinking, I don't make an H, more like a sideways Y on each end...

Right, so does that help keep the tint flat and fingures off the sides on cars with curved glass.

[TintDude]

Not really, you will still have to move the fingers down and up while you work, but not using an H gives you that much more area to shrink film into instead of making more fingers appear in the centers.

Thanks once again for the advise will try it out. And will let you know how the beetle went on monday.
