Window Tint

[tonyboi261]

so i finally have a day off from work (i finally got paid. $200!) so me and my dad are gonna work on his honda and my ho wat we will do is an all over window tint on both and 2 new cold air intakes...and does anyone know a how to on window tinting?

use soap and hot water on the windows, and use a credit card. You must have very good patience....make sure you leave enough window tint to tuck down inside the window seal so it doesnt peel off when you roll down your window....and good luck on the back window...

It's a bitch, let me tell you that much.

There's instructions with the rolls, but I'll try to add what I've learned from doing my car myself..

0. when they say clean the window with a no-fiber towel they mean it. CLEAN THAT WINDOW AS GOOD AS YOU CAN.
1. regular water doesn't cut it, they say soapy water and they mean it.
2. get a really thick credit card or an actual tint card. Squeeges are baaad. Tinting card goood.
3. Take your time, if you don't you'll get a crease in the tint and those are ugly and irrepairable.
4. Start in the middle of the tint once it's laid onto the window, smoothe up, then up and right, then right, then down and right, and so on, so hopefully you won't get many fingers.
5. When you get fingers, instead of smoothing them the long way (tip to base), smoothe them side ways. Smoothe the fingers at the top or bottom edge to one of the side edges, side edge fingers are easier to get out from my experience.
6. once you finally get it down to like 2 fingers, if they're not too big you can probably just keep at them and eventually you'll get them.
7. if one of the final fingers is at the bottom of the window smoothe it down tip to base with a credit card and stick the card into the window strip and see if it's holding the finger away, if so, leave it.

other than that it's just a lot of smoothing out. You'll get better as you go.
The rear window's hard, do it in 2 or 3 strips unless you feel bold.

Lets see, here's what I got for the rear window.
1. remove rear deck n such.
2. look out for the heating thinger on the passenger side near the top of the window.
3. loooots of patience for this, it's do able because it's not curved too badly, but it's still hard.
4. have someone help you move the tint piece into the car

a good tip is to use a glue stick on the back window round the defroster
