I cut right above the bottom matrix line so the tin doesnt even touch the matrix after installed. Saves about 20 mins of messing with the flip. Lays down perfect everytime. I put half inch tape at the bottom to cover, but that is the only car I put tape on the outside. People usually dont care, they are just happy someone will tint that car for them.

I mean tint, not tin....

[Mr paladin]

I don't put tape on anything myself, I know the corners can be tricky but never really had a problem with it sticking on the bottem

me either.

IMHO when I see tape I see a tinter that didn't take the extra step especially on old camaros with defroster lines and Rodeo'd and Passport rear windows.

If you cut the bottom corners with a curve instead of a sharp point they will lay down almost everytime and the ones that dont I will slide a block of foam or a large wadd of paper towles in there to hold it in place while I do the sides.

..or take 30 seconds and sand the bottom corner dots with sandpaper, then the film will cover it and still no messing with flip

it's been so damn long since I've even had to do one of those, what's your technique pro ? some krylon? how do you do those passports and camaros?

If you cut it short slightly on the outside it will lay down perfectly on the inside.

I have the undo pleasure of tinting hoopties for a living so I get to experiment.

the trick to the back glass on this car is simply just dont shrink the bottom. and it wont roll back on you

I'll have to try that... hopefully not soon though.

[Guest snappy]

well I usually just lay it in and as it starts to roll, I heat it with the torch. let it marinate for a sec, push it down and maybe cool it off with the spayer.
