Step By Step Installation

Step 1: Inspect Your Kit

Inspect your kit carefully and verify all pieces are correct and in excellent condition. Important: contact us before you begin if there are any problems.

Step 2: Clean Exterior

On the clean exterior of the vehicle, hold each piece up to its window to check the fit. Some extra tint will hide in the bottom door gasket and around the black border areas of other windows, so there's no need to trim.

Image

Step 3: Clean Interior

Clean the inside of the windows with a soap and water solution (no chemicals). Scrape all windows with a plastic scraper except rear windows with a defroster; use a scrub pad on those.

Step 4: Solution

Mix your slip solution: 95% water and 5% baby shampoo.

Image

Step 5: Placement

Lay the tint on a clean, flat, wet surface with the adhesive side up. Slowly peel the clear liner away while spraying the exposed adhesive thoroughly with slip solution.

Step 6: Thoroughly Spray

Thoroughly spray the inside of the window with slip solution and apply the tint, wet adhesive side to the glass.

Step 7: Alignment

Slide the tint into place, using a push stick to tuck it behind the gasket. Check the gaps along the door edges from outside for proper alignment.

Image

Step 8: Squeegee

Spray the whole tint with slip solution and carefully squeegee excess water and bubbles out to the edges, re-spraying as needed. Tip: wrap a paper towel around a hard card to soak up water at the edges and gasket and help prevent scratches.

Step 9: Important!

Do not roll the windows down for 2 days. Tint can take several days to fully cure, and haziness and water bubbles are normal during that time, so leave it alone! If any white bubbles appear, you may press them down.

A Note On Heat Shrinking

Almost all rear windows and many door windows need heat shrinking to fit properly.

Every pattern is computer cut for a perfect fit, but the curve of the glass still calls for this method. Call us before you start if you'd like tips.
