I dont remove the rears, but the front is 3 scres if remember correcly, one in the handle, and 2 under the window controls. Be VERY careful removing the controls, the wood grain is really fragile and will crack easily. The rest is just pins that hold the panel on, start on the bottom corner and pull them out, than you can pull the panel up and off. I usually put a drop cloth under because a lexus owner will find a scuff on the bottom of the door panel....Good Luck :hmmm

I assume you mean the new shape LS.

We take door panels off on these and because, sometimes the front drops can cause problems (catching and creasing on the front bottom corner) we take em out - they are fairly straight forward. As a previous poster said put a drop cloth under the panel.

Rear door panels have blinds on the ones we have done, once the panel is off there are about four screws to take out so that the blind suround comes away - partially. The blind fixes similar to BMW except the male fitting is spring loaded you can lever it out quite easily. This probably is not that much help to you - but remember its just a glorified toyota. Take it steady and you'll find they're not too bad. :thumb

      What is an established commercial/residential business worth?

      Selling or buying a small business has numerous variables. Does the business own real estate ? Is it part o& the sale ? Is the owner staying on after the sale to help the new owner for any length o& time ? Does the business have any contracts in Que that will expedite the ROI ? Is there any inventory going with the sale ? Trade tools ? Web presence ? Does the business have employees that will stay on under new ownership ? .. Does the business have any agreement with any particular brand to offer their top tier materials ? IE Vista, Panorama, Etc. .. lots and lots of variables. But as a baseline, it’s not unreasonable for a business to be valued at 3-5x EBITDA. There are companies who can help evaluate the value of any business.

      Wet shrinking problems with certain windows

      Dry shrink is akin to moving from the horse and buggy age to the age of automobiles; not only innovative, but you find yourself getting to your destination quicker. Dry shrink is also less damaging to the chemical properties of the film itself. And like Bham has pointed out in different words, work smart not harder. TD mentioned the wet check after dry shrinking, which is a technique used by many in the early stages of learning to dry shrink. Plenty of demos on Youtube.

      You REALLY need to learn to dry shrink. That type of finger would not happen and would be way easier to manipulate before failure. It's not about the time you wait for the prep surface to dry, it is about the ease of shrinking difficult windows without them being difficult. Dry shrinking makes our work so much easier. Your quality of installs will go way up and time spent on tough back glasses or windshields will go way down. The stress of doing a difficult shrink is way less once you learn the ropes of dry shrinking. If you want to improve your craft and get better at installs you are probably gonna have to learn to dry shrink sooner or later.

      Wet shrinking has advantages but it also has limitations. I'd learn a good dry shrink technique, then follow up with a wet check. You can get a lot more shrink into a piece doing it dry with a lot less stress on the film.

      hey everyone today i was tinting a BMW front windshield i don't remember which model. Anyways while shrinking fingers closer to the side edge it seems like it will end up creasing while i follow the wet shrinking process. I would like to learn how to fix this or get around it i also would like to stick to wet shrinking heres a video to see what happened and fyi this doesn't happen to me with every vehicle https://www.kapwing.com/videos/663028c4f4e49a37cd3b9eed. THANKS

      High speed material feed

      The Graphtech plotters are all about the same from 7000 to 8600. I doubt that the machine was the problem If changing software fixed the issue.

      High speed material feed

      Update to this.... We were using a Graphtec FC7000-100 plotter and the Digi Cut software and the machine wouldn't work correctly. We contacted Digi and they did a live modification on our software which solved the issue. Strange thing, the plotter would still never cut through the pattern consistently. (parts would cut totally through and parts would not cut even through the film) We switched to Core and instantly everything cut 100% consistent and without need for software modification. Perhaps if we had a newer plotter than the FC7000 perhaps the Digi would work as expected ??? Dunno
