I will definitely try it.

That back window is a nightmare 😅😂😂 I can’t wait to try it. Also glass aid is great I scratch glass already not knowing they are soft. You are really good shrinking 🔥

@mayrondelacruzperez5893 thank you! Just take your time and read the film and you can do a beetle too!

Great tutorial! Always was scared of these

[@fastlanecarcarellc3608]

Thanks man! I was too and almost turned it down but it was for a guy I've dealt with for years and decided to man up and go for it. I'm glad it did. It was a challenge but as long as you don't get too excited and just take you're time, you'll be fine. Installing the tint is the tricky part on this one. I definitely recommend removing some of the hatch trim, it just pops off but if you don't it will be a nightmare trying to tuck everything in.

[@sunshades_tint]

What’s that tool you’re using to shrink? Keep the videos coming my guy! Thanks!

[@fastlanecarcarellc3608]

Are you talking about the heat gun or my "suade blade" hard card I'm using to push the shrank film? I appreciate you watching!

[@sunshades_tint]

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 sorry I should’ve specified. The suade blade. Do you like it better than a felt card?

[@fastlanecarcarellc3608]

@sunshades_tint yes I do. I used felt cards for a long time and this has outlasted all of them. The felt part is really soft though so sometimes it doesn't "push" the film as well as the felt card but it also is more forgiving so you usually don't crease the film if you get a little ahead of yourself. To me it's worth the cost just because it last so long.

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 awesome! I appreciate the quick response! I’m going to get me one.

question : every time i tint a windshield i get little or medium size air fingers not sure the specific name and i seen videos of people saying all you need to do is lift the film and bring it down again apply heat and itll go away , everytime ive tried it it doesnt go away and i end up creasing the film any tips ?

[@fastlanecarcarellc3608]

I think I showed that a couple of times. My only advice is don't push so much film. Like wait for it to shrink and then push a little but but make sure you heat further ahead than you are pushing, if that makes sense.
