You'd rather precisely hand cut 4 overlap seams 2 directions than 1 vertical seam?
No of course not, but you never specified in your vague opening statement what type of install it was.
Reveals can look awesome done correctly, not on just one window but you get what I mean, and it would be way easier to drop one piece on a big window like that.
BUT,,, After seeing a pic, I would seam that across the top where it is less noticeable and let it ride. A vertical seam will be more noticeable no matter where you put it.

Ooooh. I don’t do much flat glass but that’s a tough one.
Since you can only get 72” product, I would recommend a 4” reveal all the way around.
A seam in that size window anywhere is going to suck.
Interested in seeing what the pro’s say.

That is probably easier than you think

Just turned down another one. Chevy built in 12/15 = black Texas Edition or something like that. Tested the panel and it was BAD!!! Refused to even touch it.

Of the two choices available to you, go with Llumar and go with Ceramic for the best heat rejection.
Issues with TPMS sensors is old news, no longer an issue(not sure it ever really was).
Don't go with different shades on that vehicle to compensate for anything. Stick with one shade all the way around and you'll be fine.
cheers

Been meaning to show y’all this one. I think everyone will like this and most will appreciate the absolute headache it was.

What was the problem ?

That is odd. Are you sure you have the latches pushed far enough into the locked position? Try pulling on the interior handle when you throw the latch.
I don't recall having any issues with those. so if you figure it out let us know what's up.

Something you might not have ever seen
Uvinul is a UV inhibitor that is added during the film making process. It has a shelf life. If used passed this time or if for some reason it is a bad batch, then you end up with UV bloom (failure)
This generally happens when it get cold after manufacturing (if I'm not mistaken).
Zoom in and look and the snowflakes everywhere. Crazy.

I don't know that it is specifically Volkswagen. I've seen it happen on a Dodge Challenger recently and I think it happened on a Toyota if I'm not mistaken.

Is that a compressor hooked up to the tank?
That is a 60psi. on-demand SureFlo pump. It's awesome. Instant - constant pressure without air. Just plug it up and go.

My Zeps old trigger sounded like a duck and was awkward to use for me. I think if it's an old Spraymaster it has a D1 on it,. I ordered Zep on Amazon because the pic looked like the Zep bottle in the pic @Bham posted but got the old type i didn't like instead. So keep an eye out if ordering online.
I'm very familiar with the duck sound
It sucks. Drives me nuts when I'm around people on a flat glass job. I hate those style of Zep bottles. They also have this new black and white bottle that is larger capacity, but I'm not sure about the sprayer on those. The new blue and white ones is where it's at. The only big difference is the bottom of the sprayer. It's hollow where it used to have that blue piece that always pops out, so it rubs the top of your hand a little. Not a huge deal,, just sand the plastic edges and you're good.

Older thread but I thought I would mention the fact it looks like Zep has gotten the design for the Spraymaster gray bottles.
Just bought two at Lowe's and they are blue and white Zep bottles but the exact design of the Spraymaster bottles that we all like.

Hey guys. I think Zep got the design for the Spraymaster bottles. The new blue and white Zep bottles are identical to the gray Spraymaster ones.

Yeah it's cool and all, but economics won't let it happen unless it can be produced SUPER CHEAP. They make these cars as cheap as possible. Even the high end ones.
And let's face it, the value of the dollar isn't going up at any rapid pace. I think it is still declining, if I'm not mistaken. So this type of expensive addition to the automotive market doesn't have much of a chance of survival. And it sure won't effect us any. Just my useless two cents.

One of my favorite cars.
Not to work on though.

Guys if you remove these Audi third brake lights, make sure that you have some Q-tips and some WD-40.
Spray the tips of the Q-tip and wipe down the metal clips in the brake light and wipe down the metal mounts that it slides onto.
This will make your re-install SO MUCH EASIER.
Your Welcome.

Perfect tint job with no dirt dots

It's amazing how the "real customers" with the high end, expensive vehicles don't get that picky about a speck or two. It's always the "wanna be's" that wish they could have afforded the higher end ride but settled for what they got and now they think it's "all that" and want it to be perfect.
Those are the ones that bring a magnifying glass to the delivery of the vehicle.
I pulled a kid away from his truck because he was trying to get me to check out this spot on his rear window (20% over factory 20 mind you) that you had to look at it with your head at an angle with just the right light showing to see the quote "spots". I made him step back about two feet and show me where the spot was. He said " you can't see it from here, you have to look like this at it"
You just made my point sir. Look THROUGH THE TINT, not at it.
These customers will always exist and usually have a predetermined mindset for acting that way to begin with. You just have to learn to deal with them because they were going to act that way even if it was perfect. If you are letting crap work out the door, well that's your own fault.
