Once you successfully do one, the next will be super easy.

Isn't that always the case?

Professionals always make things look easier than they really are.

Also I pull a couple fingers from the top and bottom to the side while shrinking then once I've finished shrinking the top and bottom I move those fingers back to finish shrinking. Also helps if you shrink a little at a time all the way across. By this I mean instead of shrinking fingers top to bottom before moving over I equally shrink all the way across going back and forth. That way the trouble areas have a little time to cool off, preventing creases.

 

plus i do the soap method

Hello All,

Speaking of rear windows, what kind of lights/lighting method would you recommend to expose the matrix???

i am using a small LED light and i hate having to stop to keep adjusting it. 

Thanks,

Mike

 

 

i use a halogen lamp in some cases it will light the whole window so you dont have to keep moving it

Picked one up from home depot for $13 bucks. Worth the investment. Thanks for sharing.

Here's what I use. Works great.

Then I use my knife in the other hand for hatchbacks.

Another 4 attempts today and still can't shrink this one. I must be doing something wrong. Are there any good sites or posts about shrinking techniques.

There's a couple videos on YouTube.

This can be a difficult back glass if you don't have much experience. Your best bet may be to 2 piece it.
