I see what u mean.
Where did you get yr tint kit from and how much? Did u use plenty of that liquid spray stuff?

Liquid spray stuff!lol
my personal opinnion is that you should mix a couple of drops of johnsons baby shampoo to a pint of water, best advice I can think is vacumme the car, dust and hairs and things are the worst problem, and then just use alot alot of the spray, u can't use too much, the more spray you use the easier it will be to move the film arround and get it into the right place.
Once it's all lined up right you want to scrape the water from tge centre of the window to the top, and to the bottom, just in 1 line to start and then work out from that... Be aware tho once you've scraped the water/baby shampoo solution out you will not, no way, be able to pull the tint off and reposition it. That's why the solution is so important, and why to use alot, soon as the tint film without the solution touches tge window it's stuck there!lol it will come off but will damage the film.

Let me know ic that's any help.
Cheers, Joe

Nice tip there mate. Think I will give it a go after all I'm only gonna lose a fiver, a few hours plus having to scrape it all back off 

Just take your time, as long as you have a decent amount of the solution on you can spend as long as you want positioning it, oh n remember to clean the windows first!lol
Also if you can cut the tint film to size first that normally makes it a little easier

Pics when you've done it!

Have you left a blank strip at the bottom??? Why??

[joeishmather]

Lmao, if that's what's happened, doesn't look like a bad job, just have to drive with the windows part way down all the time!!lol
