New Ford Explorer back door wings any suggestionson tinting with no gaps

Man, f**k those quarters

 

[poppawilly67]

every thing i have done to try and eliminate gaps have failed.  im convinced the only way to do these quarters and not gap them is to pull the glass.  even the clear liner with a sharpie pattern dont work.

You can't pull them either the molding is attached to the glass like the Mercedes.

I stripped an explorer yesterday that had the same gaps...Been a while since I have tinted one, but it seems you can just trim the edge of the gasket on the inside and tuck behind? I did a bunch of police explorers about a year ago and don't recall an issue.

Police explorers are different, they have a black border around them. Trimming in my experience only makes it worse.

Thanks, Jh812...I did not recall that difference, but certainly worth noting for future reference and I guess explains why I didn't notice a problem. Wonder why they would put two different types of quarters in the same vehicle..seems like a costly maneuver.

Because  I just did two of the police model last week so it was fresh in my mind.

I appreciate the heads up...I don't have many requests for an all around on those by the average customer even with the 50-80% ceramic on the back will be night and day difference sales pitch....most just want me to match the fronts

JAM some window bones and wedge tools inside the seals. leave it for about 1 hour and then come back to it. Loose as a goose after and no need to trim.

 

I learned this from another tintdude member
