    Typically that's going to be a secondary/back-up/emergency release for the fuel door.

    I squeegee and shave, no waiting generally but it is easier if you have time....but dang man I'm to old to wait
    Sometimes I will hang top on one door and then move to the next door and hang top then go back and shave then finish up.

    I haven't been here on tintdude for way too long.  Thought when I changed my business up last year I would have more time. ...Nope...busier than ever before with lower overhead! 
    I'm really excited to be working the Automechanika car show in Dubai the first week of next month. Will be doing demos for Global window film during the day and sightseeing after work! Have two days off also so going to have fun. Have decided to go skydiving over the Palms, ride a camel and prolly eat some, visit the Dubai aquarium, watch the world famous fountain show during dinner and of course go up the tallest building in the world and take pictures from the observation deck on the 114th floor!!!
    I'm amazed all the places around the world gluing plastic to glass has taken me♡♡♡
    If anyone on tintdude is in the area let me know and we can hang!
    Promise to keep you guys posted with pictures.
    Cheers all
    #globalwindowfilm, hanging the best!

    Its not about eliminating steps to get things done faster.
     
    Its about learning a routine and repetition and mastering the craft of window tinting..... then comes speed.
     
    it use to take me 4 hours a car when i first started. Now (5 years later) i can complete a whole car in 1.5-2hrs, pulling panels hand cutting and sticking super clean windows out the door.
     
    AND its not work if it is FUN!!!!

    @Tint Slayer yup I bring the corners down a tad or more depending on how deep the sides are and how much I can reach with the exacto.

    I'm a top loader and rarely take anything apart. I generally leave about a quarter inch at the bottom and when I hang it line up the top edge then shave with a exacto knife. Sometimes I will line up the bottom and then when I cut my top I angle my red dot so I cut about a half inch over....hang, shave and move on. Always shave wet right after hanging. ..takes some practice.

    Is there a trick to shaving/filing each end where the film is in the vertical gaskets? Sometimes it's a bit of work, i try make the last 1/8" of each end be a hair lower so i don't have to shave all the way to the end.

    i usually check to see how far the glass goes below the second seal and then cut accordingly. just make sure you don't cut it to big and the tint goes below the glass.
     
    Some cars (cant think of any off hand) have glass that barley goes below the seals, so just make sure you check each one individually.
     
    Always do passenger side 1st, and then adjust driver side accordingly

    I will be there on the 3rd with my partner and our wives. Zulifaqur Zabro, we are going to spend 3 weeks and lay 11,000 sq ft of Huper. Will definitely contact you. Enjoy. Been there twice and an Awsome place. I love the rich kid police cars....where else are there Lambo’s where you get a speeding ticket, and the cop says you’re too slow. Love it. 
    Awsome you got beyond the space for pace. Sooner or later we will all roll on.
