Styling Window tinting issues

[Jambooza]

Hi all,

Attempted to tint my rear windows today... Didn't go too well the rear windscreen is the worst. I've tried using the hair dryer technique but still go joy. Has anyone got any tips?

Yer you need to cut two or three strips and place them horizontally on the windows don't use hair dryer it's not vinyl lol

timfuller1886 i understood he was referring to the rear passenger windows. The technique you mentioned is for the rearmost glass no?

Yes.you are correct the one I mentioned is generally used for.the rear window because off the curve in it strips make it easier, however if it's the rear passenger windows it's really is very simple you tube has loads on how to tint, if more explanation is required please ask I will explain best I can....

Thanks guys. Won't using two or three strips leave slight gaps?

No the idea is to align the straight edges and trim off crap

there are a lot of you tube vids that show you how to do it right, but imo its worth paying a pro for this job,

Couldn't agree more I spent year's vinyling and managed to tint my windows first try without any problems but it's probably because I learnt some techniques from vinyling
