Window tinting

[Willo]

Is it easy to do I've seen a pre cut kit for the rear windows on the state and want it done but bit nervous of doing it myself I want it done partially for looks partially cos I have my 18 month old daughter and me fog in the car a lot and it'll be better for them come summer

It shouldnt be overly difficult.

Just make sure its wet (giggidy) and take your time. make sure you slowly work out all the air bubbles.

[Willo]

Always better when it's wet ay ?

I'm thinking its pre cut so can't be that hard

[declantg]

You would think, the hardest part would be getting it in the right position so it looks decent

I did my E39's rear windows with a pre cut kit as mentioned get it wet how you achieve this is all down to you mate there are some very good guides on you tube to get you started. I only had problems with me rear screen as it was a saloon

You can buy fitting kits for like £6 on ebay with all the squeegees and things. bit of water and a little washing up liquid in one of them spray bottles, spray a bit on the window so you can slide it about and position it and you shouldnt have a problem

I just bought a roll of window tint. Cutting it cant be that difficult so i saved the money there!

I did mine. Never again it just looks shit. Took the glass out to do it so I cold get the edges and it was just full of hairs and marks even with a squeegy and soapy water. Get it done by a company imo

If your doing it yourself its good to do the boot in two halves alot easier do top half then bottom half

or cut it along the heated marks so cant c the joins thats wot i did on my last one

Its hard enough to get it perfect, ive done a few windows. Use a very small amount of water snd fairy liquid, also a heat gun fairly helps, use it on both sides of the window your tinting.

[ozonehostile]

baby shampoo is much better than fairy liquid imo.

the difficulty all depends on your patience really

[Willo]

Was thinking would be easy bit nervous now don't wanna waste £30

[ozonehostile]

if youve got pre cut and stretched tints it makes it easier, side windows are ok, its just the rear window that can be a pig

[Willo]

Yeah it's a pre cut kit from some company online seems to be quite reputable tbh

Iwouidnt bother with the pre-cut kits.

Reason? you only have one chance with it,
if you get it on the roll, atleast you can cut another peice if you mess it up,
best to order an extra roll. (cheap on amazon)

clean all the glass 1st. (meths or decent glass cleaner) both sides and do the measuring cutting on the outside,
