Tried Tinting My Windows

[jdbecks]

ha tried tinting my rear window..before it tried the others! i think i should leave it to the pros

[JappyBeast]

I would never try it myself!

[jdbecks]

ha! im goin to attempt it again next weekend!! hopefully i have more patients!

[Moffmo]

tried 3 times, failed miserably, im off to give it another go i reckon as iv seen a video that make it look pi**

[Fizz]

tis why the pro's charge so much..

[mrfil13]

Dont do it :). It is very hard, i did an ok job on my old Renault 5, but that was because i could take the windows out. If you do decided to do it, make sure there two of you, one to hold, while the other flattens it down.

Again it's not worth it, unless you dont mind trying and trying over and over till you get it good. Ive seen examples of people that have done it lots of times, but still they have small bubbles etc. Also if you aint happy with the job once its stuck it is V V V V hard to get off

Can't you put them on the same as any sticker?

Warm slightly soapy water and a squeegee

top tip, wipe the window with talcum powder before fitting film, but oviously wipe it off properly after!

He's not wrong, i remember talc been used on mine when i got it done

From start to finish 3hrs for 7 windows to be done and i even got a free brekkie :D

[houston]

yep, i know it sounds crazy but it works, was told to try it when i did my cavaliers windows.did one window with the talc and one without, the one with seemed to settle onto the window quicker too

[JappyBeast]

But how can u wipe the talc off if its between the glass and film?

[JappyBeast]

The old CavWeb days.

[houston]

no, you clean windows, then wipe talc over and wipe it off properly before you apply the film.

[JappyBeast]

Oh!...

Now I get it.

[houston]

The old CavWeb days.

brilliant car, was an old mk 2, wish i still had it to be honest, but manual choke is not for me! and smoke comin from ignition barrel which is a "common problem for all vauxhalls!" kinda puts you off them!

[JappyBeast]

I dont miss my old Cav now I have the MR2 but the old Gal is a part of my history.
