That shit sucks! I'm giving up on tinting ... at least for a while. It's really testing me.
Maybe I can find a school or something around here to go to to learn.

Tinting windows is an art.
Not a chance in hell I would even try it again.
I bought two rolls of tint at Wal Mart. Pulled the first one out, wind stuck it together. I put it in the trash and returned the other roll and said hell with this.

yeah, it's no joke. I went into it thinking, "how hard could this be." Well, I found out.

I tinted the rear window in my F-150 years ago. I used my bankcard to apply it. lolz.

A window that's flat or even close to it isn't too bad. But as soon as it curves a little bit ... holly hell.

I just dipped the entire chunk of tint into soapy (Dawn dishsoap) water and sprayed the entire backwindow with the same solution. Water was running everywhere but the tint was easy to slide around, pull off and re-apply if needed.
