Here's a beginner way to drop film. You'll eventually learn to do it without the dowel. 

Nice!

I was out on a ride working out the bugs on a new bike when i got the call " Your new film is here,along with some other goodies " 😀 I can't wait to open the shop tomorrow and start feeling the FX ! Big thanks to Dragon for sending me some shirts,tint fuel,cleaner,banners...and most of all,a High Quality film to replace that Eastman !@/+.

that's crazy @DynamicAppearance

Ok, I've done a few of these now and have to say on the whole they are pretty easy. On the hatch I don't bother to disassemble to pull the spoiler I just tack with a horizontal line instead of an H-pattern and bump the film down so I can shrink the top first, then bump up to shrink the bottom. Granted that's using a plotter cut pattern, if you're hand cutting you'll need to remove the spoiler. The doors are cake other than the 1/4 windows which are worse up front than the rear. Remove the 7mm screw behind the handle then pull the top of the panel straight back and the sweep comes right out. On the 1/4s I recommend cutting your pattern exact, the seals are basically bonded to the glass on two sides, if you're using a plotter be prepared to trim your film. Access on the front 1/4 sucks due to the upper trim on the door, hasn't been enough of an issue for me to look into R&I-ing it though. @no ma'am here's the detailed shots you asked for.

Me and Tintmaster08 at the WFCT Tint Off. Love meeting you guys in person!

One thing I have learned over the years, you have to be okay with people walking out the door.  Can't please everyone, so why try to?

Fixed it for ya!

I've pulled seals almost from the beginning on most everything except for full size pickups, makes life a hell of a lot easier.

I don't need or want an audience. Especially if I'm pulling or popping the top of a panel, the newer GMs let loose a hell of a snapping noise when you pop the top. Had a salesman present when I was popping one the other day and he about shit himself, can only imagine what a customer would be like when it sounds like you're breaking shit on their new $30k-$100k vehicle. 

@TintDude

Yeah, seems like everything is politicized these days, getting really tired if it.

Can I get it for free-fidy if I send twenty people your way next week?
