1979 Corvette

I have a 1979 Corvette coming in tomorrow. Since it’s so old and I’ve never done one, is there anything to look out for? TIY

Hard, dry, brittle sweeps across the bottom inside of the doors.  They can crack and break if you go to deep with a pointed turbo or hard card.  

The rear glass WILL NOT come out perfect around the edges.  The hard sealant around the glass will be bumpy and imperfect and you will have to fill light gaps with a paint pen. 

The rear glass will be larger on the inside after you shrink and cut it for install.  No big deal just be ready for it and trim it accordingly after install.  

 

Good Luck.  They aren't that bad.  :beer

I believe this model doesn't have the flip up BG. I found it best to work the BG on my back; folding the passenger seat back and placing filler to have a flatter surface to lay on while working.

Try and not fall a sleep laying on your back cleaning and installing the film.
