2016 Explorer 1/4 windows

Stick 4 bones in there before you start the car, leave the quarters till the end... they will be as loose as a hooker. LOL.

I hope I don't have to do one that is not factory tinted. If so, I will probably try something like this first. I would have to worry about the amount of tension that the rubber is putting on the film, if I did get it to tuck under there. I could see that being an issue with causing the film twist over time :dunno

what do you do, trim the rubber at an angle towards the glass? I am only asking cause I have never trim rubbers on any quarter windows, but hey who knows - today I will learn something new.

If I were to trim, it would only be a very thin line of rubber being taken off. Just enough to give an edge to trim against after install. I've noticed the film lays better against a slightly trimmed edge rather than the sometimes rolled edge when left untrimmed. Leave the pattern just a smidge long and when you squeegee down at install, it seems to stay closer allowing for a better trim. IMO.

Just pulled a 2015 in. Those seals ate pretty dang tight. Luckily this one the rear is already tinted and we're just going with 20 on top of that. I do have a couple wedges in them now though to try and help out.

Seals were pretty tight. Thank god they were already tinted. One side I took the white hard card and stuck in there to see where the edge was at and you could see it then. Other side though I did manage to get it slid all the way. Not that you could see any of this with them being factory tinted. I took some plastic door panel removal tools I had and wedged in there from the start of the vehicle. Good luck on the untinted ones.
