Put the tint against the window and with an exacto blade follow the window lines.

use water and do it on the outside of thewindow first without peeling off the adhesive.... then all u have to do is put it on the inside and work out your bubbles

I have good hand control.....but what about say the front winshield, i havent seen tint that wouldnt have to be cut into strips to attempt that.

Are you talking about the eyebrow on the front winshield?

that, or the entire thing.....likely wanting to put 35% along the front, and one, or 2 layers of limo along the rest

for the front put the factory cut edge at the bottom and then use a tape measure to make sure its level then trim the top and sides to make the bottom line as straight as possible

Have never done the entire thing before, The eyebrow is just steady hand, remember to stay above the markings on the sides of the windshield.

And it isn't a perfectly rectangular piece of tint, either. You have to take into account the curvature of the windshield. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
