Have one of these rolling in tomorrow. I have been bottom loading nearly everything lately, is this an option on this car?

 

Customer is also asking about the windshield, anything to watch out for there? I have done a couple (Trucks and SUVs) but I like to ask and didn't see a post already.

 

I know the back glass is tight but it sounds like the 16+ models are worse. Will my Automotive Bulldozer be enough for this back window?

 

Thanks for the help as usual everyone. This forum has saved my butt on many things already!

Bulldozer will get that. As far as the doors, I spray a fair amount of slip, lay my film on the glass, push with my hands a bit (3/4 way to the top) and it separates the glass from the molding and slides right down. 

Cheers

If you want I do believe those clips pop and seals will pull out and hang. Don't quote me on it but I'm pretty confident.

 

Thanks @drtint and @jh812!

 

Guy actually called and wanted to drop it off early.

 

Back window doesn't look like it has much shrink to it and the Bulldozer fits pretty good it seems. Worst part is my 6'2" frame in that back seat.

 

What about the sides? May just knock this out tonight and let it bake in the sun tomorrow.

That's my problem as well. I can do the '10-'15's but the '16+ I pass on. Side glass you can either snap shrink on your peel board or wet shrink the top and you'll be golden. If you go through with pulling the seal you might be able to get away with no shrink.

Already did driver and passenger with no luck.

 

I was just searching YouTube for a door panel removal video.

Did the top not pop back?

 

It did. Went back over the replies before I pulled the whole panel.

 

I actually popped the whole seal out instead of hanging it.

 

Cutting now, we'll see how it goes this time.

Shouldn't be any issue now. I knew I had just done one not to long ago and thought it did. Good luck.

 

Nope. Zero issues. First shot on each side once those sweeps were out.

 

Didn't even have to shrink. At least I know for next time.

 

(Really should learn to do the snap/double snap technique on my board though...)

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you

      Process

      Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
