if they are troublesome, leave fingers on the sides when you shrink. when they are on the inside they become short and fat because the window is so curved on the far sides. they are easy to just heat out. when my trainees do them I have them leave fingers first, I think if they try to shrink the whole thing theyll heat crease it.

sounds bout right.

That's what happened in my case, a few little creases about 1/2 inch in length, near the top and bottom corner on the right side. Can't wait to get another, I'm always up to the challenge to get it right. Next time I'll leave some fingers like you said!!

johnsons greystone,yea ive done 4 or 5 now and the top corners just will not stick and thats what takes most time for me heating glass trying to stick them,only solutuion I can think of is to use less soap in slip

I think you must be overshrinking at the top, the heat from shrinking hits the spoiler and overcooks the film easily.

yes thats sounds about right because its always on top corners,bottom corners stick fine,ill look out for that next time,thanks

love doing tough shrinks but 99.5% of VW customers in general are the cheapest SOB''s on earth...so it's hard to charge extra. The last 3 I did were R32's

[Devil with bad attitude]

PIA's to tint and so is its little brother the VW Polo.

Big dollars if any customer wants me to tint them.

I leave the tint a few inches long top and bottom shrink it to where I need it and cut the excess off

[Guest tintec]

classonglass do you soap or powder shrink these?

[Guest naughtydog]

I personally do them in soap, leave them long and take the film right to the edge of the glass, pull a BIG finger to this area and blitz it, this will tighten it up a lot. Leave a few at the sides and heat those in.

j&j babby powder on every car I shrink easier shrink than soap or drier sheet
