Step three. Thoroughly clean the inside of the window and make sure there is no dust or debris on the glass.
Step four. Peel the clear liner that is protecting the adhesive away from the film and apply soapy water to the Tint. Apply the Tint to the clean interior window and squeegee any water and or bubbles to the edges, after squeegeeing use a hard card wrapped in a paper towel to absorb any moisture around the edges.
Step five. Look closely at the window from the outside to see if there are any air pockets or water pockets that you missed. Then use a heat gun to heat up the edges of the outside of the glass to seal edges.
Step six. Do not roll windows down for a minimum of two days.
