08 ish altima finger issue

Blktint · June 6, 2013

I recently done two altimas, one 08 and the other 2010. Is there something I need to know about the side windows? They crease rather than the normal shrink. When I apply the heat, instead of it squiggling up, it just forms a thin line leading to a crease. I used EWF classic black and a madico film on the other and both do the same. Whats going on?? I wet shrink btw

Snap shrink. Just do the edge . On the bottom . Just to curling. A little bet.

Keep up the effort.

I may have found my solution. I have been unrolling film horizontally rather than vertical. I tested this with a window today and with the film unrolled side ways it shrinks normal and unrolled up and down, it creased. Unsure how this happens.
