Where does it start to peel? Front corners tight... I tuck these seals and use a shank to pull them back up. I had issues with the lowest sweep not coming back up without the shank I think. Made squeaking noises

 Usually the mirror corner, I don't struggle putting the film in either. I'll try pushing the seals down next time though, I need to try something different

We have done lots without issue....  maybe you got a roll of film with funky adhesive ?.

I was using Suntek Carbon for the first 3 then switched to Global QDP after hearing the praise it gets around here and im still having the same issue. It's baffling me

Ok so I've done about 5 or 6 of these cars this year, the regular model and the M4. My problem is that literally every single one I do comes back after a few days because it's peeling. Every single 4 series. It doesnt always happen on both windows which makes me confused even more. I really dont know I'm doing wrong. 

Anyone have any tips on this car? Do you cut it shorter/longer than a normal frameless car?

I did this camaro 05% came out very nice

Looks clean 👌

I haven't been tinting for too long, I've always wondered how do you do old cars like this with no dot matrix or anything. Are there gaps around the edges inside?

These are based in the US, getting it here in the UK would be a bit costly with delivery + import fees

Seems like we dont have half the tools to purchase here that the US have. Where do you guys in the UK generally buy tools from? Especially the Tri Edge, the only place I can find that sells that here is eBay and its been overpriced 

Alright thanks guys, I just wanted some more clarification before ordering some rolls, I got a bit sceptical when I read/heard about it but seems like it was very very rare

You sure you are talking about Global?  To date I have not seen one post about failure with Global film.  Not just on here, but anywhere.

I'm not specifically just talking about on here but in general from other places that have used Global here in the UK

Also we do get a few matches when googling fading on Global from this site but these problems seem to be very old, prior to 2011. Just thought id see what it's like now and it seems good because I see nothing but praise on this forum about it. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=global+fading+tintdude+site:www.tintdude.com&prmd=insv&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiL-J2lzqbWAhVNaVAKHbFJAXMQrQIILCgEMAA&biw=360&bih=616

I remember years ago Global film had a lot of complaints in regards to the film turning purple in as little as a year. For those that have been using the film for the last several years, have you experienced any fading/discoloration? I want to give QDP a try but I don't want to deal with a bunch of warranties in a years time for fading
