Window tint installation question ?

[CrazyHorn]

I just wanted to know how did you guys installed the top portion of the window, because I've put the film on all the window, its all good except the top portion where it doesn't want to stick, just looking for some advices, do you guys just dont put anything there or is there a way to make it stick, thanks guys.

If you are refering to the dot matrix on the rear, you can use a glue stick or sand the dots down carefully to give the tint a surface to stick to. Using a heat gun works wonders here.

When you sand the dots you mean to remove them completely ? I guess a glue stick would work doh but what type of glue stick you would use for it ?

You should have had it professionally installed mang. There's nothing worse than a bad window tint job

Sand them just enough to give the tint a surface to stick to. From the factory, the dots are slick so the tint won't stick good.

If it doesn't work that what I'll do, I'm just trying, the two sides windows are good doh.

Edit: I should have done that before but I did a search, I know :damnit: anyways I've heard some people put black stips on the top of the windows, so should I just go to a tint place and have the top portion cut or do I have to do the whole window again, thanks guys.

Just cut the tint where the dots start if you are going to do the vinyl strip.

Alright, I'll try that, thanks for the info guys.

Definetly do the vinyl strip. I have it on mine for the past 3 years without any problems.

Use a heat gun. Any GOOD pro tinter will do the same thing, and it will turn out fine. I've done several cars with a heat-gun on dot-matrix and had no problems. As an above poster said, use sand-paper only if you absolutely have to.
