How to Tint Your Windows

Step1

First, you need to be sure that all of the windows being tinted are clean. Wash them, inside and out, then dry them off with a Low-Lint cloth.

Step2

Place your tint on the outside of the window, and cut it into a square (be sure to leave a little extra on the edge.) Now, using your spray bottle, wet the window AND the tint. This will make it easier for the squeegee to go across without bunching it up.

Step3

Once you have squeegeed all of the bubbles out, use your razor blade & make a small cut in the top edge of the tint. From there, stick the end of the razor inside the small weather strip, then follow it around the window. This will ensure the proper size of tint, and leave a little extra to push down into the weather strip once installed on the inside.

Step4

Place the piece you cut on the inside of the window, and again, spray the window & outside of the tint then squeegee until all the bubbles are out. This may take some time, it is normal. You will notice that you will have a small amount left, and may need to repeat step 3 once on the inside of the window.

Step5

If you have curved glass, you will need to use a Heat Gun to stretch the tint to fit the glass. BE VERY CAREFUL - YOU MAY MELT THE TINT - IF YOU HAVE CURVED WINDOWS, YOU ARE BETTER OFF GOING TO A PROFESSIONAL.

Step6

For the rear window, most places cut around the defrost lines, however I did not with my car, and it has had no problems. If you wish to cut around them, wait until it is installed, and then simply cut the small strips out; NOT piece the big pieces of tint together!
