Vette ?? for Mdog

[Guest Litespeeds]

I usually cut the holes smaller first then do my final cutting inside and get it as close as possible. Most of my customer's would rather see a small slit towards the edge than to have me remove the screws holding the struts. Maybe it has something to do with what I said. " If you tint the entire window and around the screw areas, there is a 99% chance that the film will twist when you screw the struts back on".

I used dryer sheets to shrink the back window and had to move the film off the holes to shrink those areas.

I had to admit that I have heard about some tinters doing back windows of Vette's in one piece several years back but thought it was a myth. I figured that I would try since I have mastered the dry shrink technique. To my surprise, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

I use powder to shrink, then cut my holes before I put the film on, I'm one of those guys that HATES to cut anything on the inside.and I too put a small slit in the film, I just remove all attachments on that window due to the amount of obstacles on the glass. it makes it a breeze to shrink. besides, I charge more fot that car anyway, so it's worth it to me to do the extra little work.

Do you remove that screw that holds the struts on and take the struts out to get them out of the way?

I remove them from the glass as well as the latch, then shrink with powder, then cut holes for struts off center, then cut out window, reinstall struts on glass (leaving a relief cut in the film to go around the struts) then install the film....seems like a lot of work, but it makes this one easier to shrink with no attachments to the glass. it's probably not the right way but it's my way
