It is pretty simple to do .When you cut your front doors line up the bottom edge ,cut the front edge then move the film forward 1 eighth of an inch then cut the back edge then move the film back ,then cut your top edge.Then when you do the back doors cut the back edge first then move the film back 1 eighth of an inch then cut the front edge then top edge.

I now have my second bus, the first one I got the windows professionally done for a grand. Ol mate told me quite a few times that he buggered up the quote and I got an absolute bargain. This new bus, I’d like the privacy, but not ready to spend the big bucks yet. Got tint rolls on eBay for 20 bucks. Watched this video, first window forgot to spray the back of the film, hard to work but ok-ish finish. Second window, I tore the film while cutting in. Third one, looks pretty good. Thanks so much for this video, I found it very helpful and saved a lot of money

The only problem I see here is the amount of water dripping down below the window into the electronics. You can really reach havoc with many cars especially the rear windows that are over many ECUs
@punktalley 10 місяців тому
The electronics are on the inside door frame away from the glass. All windows in a vehicle are designed to allow moisture to drain out the bottom of the door. Having said that along with being a tint shop it's best to use some type of absorption system.....I use FOSHIO SOAK ROPE 2 IN 1 with a crash wrap on door panels....not so much for electrical damage protection but to minimize customer complaints. They see the extra care of using the rope they tend to have questions about the care of their vehicle. Plus the streaks from the dash and door panel conditioner being removed with tint slip solution ( water and baby shampoo). Which does it hurt door panel and dash conditioner it just has to be reapplied.
