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
