Precut Window Tint Installation - How to Install on Front Roll Up
Windows
Front Window
Preparation
You will need to remove any parts of your vehicle which are in contact with the
glass surface area to aid in the installation procedure. You may need to remove
inner plastic pillars, tape back the felt window draft guard or even remove the
door panel trim to have good clear access to your window. If you want
professional results, you will need to take the time to prepare your vehicle.
Roll down your glass about 1/2 inch from the
window felt. With the window down and the soapy slip solution applied. Remove
the liner from the precut window tint, apply the soapy slip solution to the
film. Be sure there is enough solution on the film and the glass to insure the
film will not adhere prematurely before it is positioned. Lay the film near the
bottom of the wet glass and slide it down into position as you lay the top of
the precut film kit into position. Squeegee from the anchor point, this will
keep the film from sliding while you work from the middle out. You may now roll
up the window and squeegee the bottom out. Blot away and excess water with a
paper towel (we recommend wrapping the hard card with a paper towel for this
procedure).
As you are squeegeeing, (on roll up windows) do the top first, work down
avoiding the edges until last, stroke downward. Spray the film and squeegee it
again, more firmly this time, to remove more water from under the film.
Note: Shifting roll down windows make it difficult to properly position the
film during installation, often leading to gaps in coverage. This can be easily
avoided by marking the edges of the glass on the outside with a dry erase marker
and using the marks as a guide during installation. Just roll the window all the
way up, and make a 1 or 2 inch mark on each side of the roll down where the felt
meets the glass. Often the shifting window will erase one of your marks, or
cover it completely, so just align the film using the surviving mark
