Re: [VAC] Tinted defelective windoew paper



Was a little leery about this myself, until I watched a local installer put the stuff (at no small expense) on our 2 cars.
 
It's cheap enuf to make mistakes with.  The trick seems to be in 3 things:  a straight edge, sharp stylus & a steady hand.  Good eyesight doesn't hurt.  Always layover & measure from the OUTside.  Then install on the INside.  Bucket of water, wet sponge & sm. squeegie come in real handy too - for woking out the bubbles.
 
BTW, this stuff doesn't last forever, depending on sunlight, exposure & how many onslaughts of Windex it gets annually.  Products which are near-harmless to the film are readily available at national auto supply chains, like NAPA & AutoZone.  Whe it gets tacky looking, remove with a hair dryer, plastic scraper & maybe a little nudge from WD-40.
