The only thing left is have him come back in a couple of weeks and run a lil chizzler wrapped in paper towel along each wire now that all the solution is finally dried yet there is still tack to the adhesive.

I did this 2 yrs ago..same senerio..I think it was even the same year of Corvette , I had him drop by 2 months after I had done that and it still looked good..I think the key was to leave it long enough after the tint job was done..but not too long :thumb

Either way..it worked for the long haul :rollin
