2023 Toyota Crown

*Has the factory UV coating on the glass - do not use a blade on the glass*

 

Overall an easy car for both tint and ppf.

 

Remove the cover plate behind the handle to expose a single phillips screw. After removing the screw the door panel tops can be popped loose and the lower seal removed. The back glass is an easy shrink, headrests are non removable and the roofline is low so access is a little tight if you're a taller individual like myself.

We did our 1st today, pretty easy vehicle including the windshield and pano.

What is your technique if you can't cut on the glass?

If you don't have a plotter use a wax pencil and cut on a peel board.

or a sharpie on an old liner works to make a template as well or a button under the film to keep your blade tip off the glass if you're doing a back window works well too.

I was specifically referring to using a blade to scrape the inside of the glass for prep/sticker removal more so than cutting your patterns, if you do you're in for a very bad day. Leave the stickers and use a gentle scrub pad (I use the blue scotchbrite) to prep.

The button is a great trick. I discovered that when I found out how soft the ford probe rear glass was back in the day.

Crazy how some things I once learned are stuck in the way back file of memory because I've learned so many more ways to get to the same outcome since then. Feel like I just took a trip back to the 90s.

Thanks Plains...I think
