17 civic hatch tint no spoiler removal......YES!!!


TITAN500

Recommended Posts

The Honda dealer asked me to tint a 17 civic hatch back that was sitting on the showroom. I gave them the whole " gotta remove the spoiler blah blah blah"

They didn't care they just wanted it tinted.

I use tint tek at the shop and mobile.

To my amazement there's a pattern. That being half the battle, I noticed a new crv in the showroom and I remembered the hatch has a lot of curve at the bottom.

So I plotted a civic hatch pattern and left about 2 inches extra filmbeyond the pattern and threw it on the crv and dry shrunk the bottom.

The extra 2 inches really helps to lift and pull and allows you to shrink fingers

Beyond the cut. I do all back windows that way.

For the rest of the shrink I used the civic front windshield since it has a good amount of curve.

For good measure I put the pattern on the civic hatch back and dry shrunk the top near the upper spoiler.

All that was left to do is pull off the extra film and mount the tint on the side of the car, ( could have used the windshield but they had a heater blowing that direction) peel spray and stick.

Don't try this if you aren't comfortable using a laminated windshield to shrink on.

I used express boxed 30% QDP

I have used a similar method when rear spoilers get in the way. Usually the front windshield of the car you are working on has enough curve.
