[@llancewwalker9548]

Good job, dude ,could not have done it any better

[@fastlanecarcarellc3608]

Thank you!

Deeper than the other guy 😎

[@fastlanecarcarellc3608]

That's what she said 😅

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 have you heard of Gila tint from autozone. Thinking about getting their ceramic one and was wondering if it’s worth it.

[@soobok13]

Hi when you do that window you can remove the sweeps and then bottom load it so you will be below the seal.

[@fastlanecarcarellc3608]

You sure can. You can also tuck it below the seal when two staging as well. I have never had an issue with film peeling on these. But then again I use a high quality film. Perhaps if someone is using a cheaper film with a weaker adhesive, that could cause it to peel.

11:50...cutting on glass...yes you might not scratch it...but you might etch it...don't know if that aftermarket glass is soft or not till it's to late...use the back door glass to round your edges...that way if you etch it blame it on the last guy...ever tried putting the pattern upside down when u peel it...no fingers touching the film...tint guy named Wolf taught me that back in 1994 was doing that ever since..."Lady complained that her car was all wet after a tint job...tinter went out to look at it and said sorry ma'am your car is wet but we were out of the dry water we had to use the wet water"...gotta million of'em...

[@fastlanecarcarellc3608]

I use stainless blades and have never had a problem with etching or scratches. Carbon blades will definitely scratch easily. If I had a peel board I would put them upside down but my fingers don't touch the adhesive the way that I peel them. I also dry off my door panels before I let the car go. I would like to get some carpet shield to use to cover the doors though just to reduce the risk on sensitive materials and save time having to clean up the water.

Amazing bro tinted F150 from 02-2020 already they easy like butter and F250 I done 04 and 17 they both was easy like butter I love doing the Fseries of ford they easy like butter for me

[@wrxjay309]

Great video man🔥

[@fastlanecarcarellc3608]

Thank you!

[@waybach]

May I ask what kind of sprayer/keg you’re using? Or do you prefer another kind this time around?

[@fastlanecarcarellc3608]

Sundistributingdirect.com for the tint keg. Can't recommend it enough! I'm running dual brass fan tip sprayers, dual in line filters on mine if you want an exact copy.

[@soobok13]

Thanks for the video!

[@fastlanecarcarellc3608]

No problem, thanks for watching!

[@thefoildesigner]

Stupid question maybe but will all that water/soap used during install drain out eventually?

[@fastlanecarcarellc3608]

@@thefoildesigner yes. Doors have drain holes to drain rain water. This is no different. It sucks when your foot finds the drain while you're working. 🤣

[@thefoildesigner]

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 Got it! Is it the same solution you use to clean the window and do this installation? baby soap, isopropanol and water?

[@fastlanecarcarellc3608]

@thefoildesigner I don't use baby soap or alcohol. Back then I used dish soap but now I use fusion all type. If you use alcohol in your slip solution, the tint will try to stick faster. If a window is really dirty, I scrub it with glass cleaner and a blue scrub pad. If it has a hydrophobic coating (water beads on the glass when it's sprayed) I use a product called rewind to raw from sundistributingdirect.com to remove that coating, it will make the tint try to instantly stick if you don't remove it. It can also cause the tint to fail prematurely.

Thank you

You are very welcome. Thank you for watching!

[@CurtisMP]

Where did you get your platform?

[@fastlanecarcarellc3608]

I got mine from Home Depot but it's from a brand called Gorilla Ladders I believe and they sell at other retail locations as well.

[@juniore.2225]

Can you still shrink the tint if you flip it 180⁰??

[@fastlanecarcarellc3608]

Yeah. Tint can only shrink towards the factory edges so if you flip it 180 you will be fine, but if you flip it 90* you will ruin it. Unless of course you shrink sideways towards your factory edges.

[@vincentmartinez1595]

Do fingers not appear when cutting out the bottom template ?

[@fastlanecarcarellc3608]

Depends on how you cut it. These windows don't require shrinking if you lay the film correctly. But you can snap shrink them if you want.

[@tonycastro6154]

takes me 2 hours to do this complete truck,,no machine cutting all hand cutting i dont do tint constantly,,,,,,easy truck,,,,wish icould do 3 of this a day,,lol,,tnx for video,,,i cut both window patterns at the same time,,,cut the size you need,,than apply the second sheet of tint in reverse ,,meaning put the linears part of both tints should face each other,,,so when you are cutting one window it mirrors the other cut,,,save you time,,,,

[@fastlanecarcarellc3608]

Yeah I do the same. They are pretty easy but the bottom tends to give new tinters some trouble, which is why I made the video. I appreciate you watching and sharing your tips!

[@santanamoss1015]

So why are people taking off door panels now do you really have too

[@fastlanecarcarellc3608]

Some people prefer to "bottom load" their tint, and the easiest way to do that is to remove the door panel/window sweep (seal) but on these, I just don't feel that it is necessary. Everyone has their own ways of doing things though.

[@Wirpy]

if you pull these seals it’s mega easy

[@fastlanecarcarellc3608]

It's not difficult without pulling the seals. I imagine by the time you get the seals pulled you could have had it done.

[@Wirpy]

@@fastlanecarcarellc3608 takes 3 seconds to pull the seals on the f series. i’d rather bottom load and know i’m below the seal, no light gaps, tight edge, and don’t have to spend time working in creases
