Bham Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 You guys keep saying leave it in the sun or heat it up good and push it down??? I can't remember the last time I had that much of a problem with a newer car of any kind, Accord or otherwise. If I remember the bottom of these windows don't require a lot of shrink to make them lay down(pretty basic),,so you might be overshrinking it,,,also I think WickedTint is pretty close with his statement about not cutting the pattern to big. If it is "bottoming" out you should be able to tell during install and just bring it back up a little. Honda matrix is tricky if you don't get the overlap just right. To close and it will lift, and to much over the ceramic matrix and it will act funny also. All of this leads me to believe there is a larger problem here. Maybe film or slip but I'm leaning more towards operator error on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TintDude Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 I remember way back Fords having a similar issue on some cars. It was the frit causing it, as it was rough textured and there was fine frit dust which if not lightly sanded and wiped away thoroughly would cause side lifting just like that.

yoderge2 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I know the side curtains on the sides of those Hondas can be tight sometimes, especially those bottom corners. Are the pillars pushing the tint up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.G. Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I know the side curtains on the sides of those Hondas can be tight sometimes, especially those bottom corners. Are the pillars pushing the tint up? Very good possibility Y---- , It takes less time to remove both sides and the deck and reinstall when the film is set , than to deal with the possible problems.

Guest YourBluetoothsOn Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I was having the same issue on 15 Accords only. I'm using SunTek HP film and TruCut patterns. It was only peeling right behind the brake light and usually a few days after install. Although I hate cutting out the 3rd brake light on any car, I've been doing it on the 15 Accords and haven't had a problem since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tintguy93 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Ive had issues with the film falling off the dots on the new models of accords and have had to use the DOT-FIX film over dots. But from those pictures it seems to be molding or installing errors not to sound like a dick. I use Llumar ATC CTX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gospeed3go Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 i really dont know why people are having issues with this car. i use lots of soap and only lightly clean the back glass since its a newer car. its either gotta be the film types adhesive or its just being cut to damn big.
