2018 Camry back glass

Storm · June 4, 2018

New to the forum and fairly new to tint. I've been installing doors for a while so that's a breeze but I'm just learning how to shrink and install a BG. 18 Camry wants to kill me. My issues: creasing the corners of BG while shrinking it, can barely reach the bottom edge when installing (short girl probs). I use a side swiper but my arms aren't long enough. Tool suggestions?

It's for a dealership so I'm getting them every day. Dry shrinking takes too much time for me. Any suggestions? Brake light doesn't bother me a bit either because it's cut out from the pattern (dealership request). I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong...why I keep creasing it.

Also, for those that say the rear doors are a challenge, I found them to be quite easy. Check the width on the film. Tucking shouldn't be difficult either...check the length. Doors I understand. This BG is gonna be the death of me though....

Our experience is that isn’t too difficult a glass.... shrinking takes quite a bit of practice to get a feel for how the film will react. Maybe try sliding a sheet of paper between the film and the glass when you start to get up too those corners. The paper will force the film to float on the glass so you don’t get all your shrink on one little part if the film is sticking too the glass :dunno

It takes a lot of practice to do the bg. You should know the film your using and how to shrink it right. I always dry sheets when shrinking and rye method to install. We've been there too, so dont give up and if youre short use a step stool to help you out shrinking the film. I believe you can figure it out soon. Good luck to you!
