2017 civic hatchback

[Pyramids]

If your doing enough of them I can see the advantage. I have never been one to shy away from buying what I need to make work more efficient.

I'll be tying to (cheat) on this one somehow some way. May shrink on board or half and half flipping pattern. Gonna plot it for sure.

It is pretty curved at the bottom.  I can't imagine shrinking it without something very curved to shrink against.

This car was such a PITA. Thanks to The Man for the write up on spoiler removal, it saved me so much more time. I don't see how the bg can be shrunk without he spoiler being taken off. Might end up melting it if left on. Bottom of the glass has a weird curve to it sorta like a crv.

Ive found what works for me.

We heat the top half, then heat the bottom half on the inside of the glass using a mac-tac so it dosent scratch the film.

usually have a few smaller fingers to hit with the heat gun after the install but I think thats a much quicker solution to removing the spoiler or seems.

 

Here is a video of me shrinking the civic hatch BG.....don't use cheap film!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, not bad to shrink, I just don't see anyone getting that much shrinking on a peel board winging it.

I shrunk the top half letting the bottom overhang the spoiler. Then flipped over it over so the bottom was on the top and shrunk again. Slapped it in. No big deal really.

I haven't even seen one in person yet,, but this is the best non-removal solution I have seen yet.    Nice !!

I ain't saying it can't be done but looking at that video of how much shrink it takes on the bottom I don't see how that is possible. Top has virtually no shrink to it.

We do it without the removal...but its not easy at all. Takes just as long as if you were to do the removal.

[Blackdout]

So only taking interior pieces apart and spoilers?    No exterior pieces except the spoiler?

You have to remove the motor to the wiper because there's a 10mm screw behind it holding the spoiler down. I would suggest pulling the tail lights out all the way out instead of leaving it dangling on the sides.

The more this thread comes up the more I'm like yeah I'll pass on one of these

 

I can tell ya about what I'm gonna do, two piece that ho and send it packing.

$$$$$$  That's my solution.  Any inconvenience to me is gonna cost ya.  I don't mind working more for more money.
