    I like how he explains thoroughly every step he’s doing and what should be done or shouldn’t be done. Such as not applying too much water, or why outside should be sprayed with water. It might be obvious for some, but it’s an instructional video therefore one should explain their steps. Unlike other similar videos, where they don’t bother to explain as much. Thanks for this great explanation. The best window/windshield tint video there is on CZcams đŸ‘đŸŒ

    Quick tip. Split the film 10/10 from a 20in roll so your not dealing with all that extra at the top. And once you finish getting the film and level on outside. Mark the bottom edge of windshield with a sharpie in a few places. So you can line up film
    Perfect when installing.

    Great video . I'm going to my windshield on my 2018 Silverado. My question is I want to make my tint strip about 1 or 2 inches lower then the mirror . So I would guess I need to make the tint one solid piece so you don't see the split... Do I approach this the same way ? I 'm thinking to lay out a tape strip across the bottom to get a strait line (concave line )? And thanks again for detailing my Black 2018 Silverado last year GREAT JOB.

    • @glang3686
      @glang3686 Pƙed 2 lety +2

      It's actually easy. Use the top edge of your windshield and follow it all the way across with a razor knife. Then once it's cut all the way across, you move the tint down to how far down the glass you want the strip. Then you cut along the ceramic border. Once that is done, you install it and it will be straight and follow the curve of the window. Hope that helps

      As how far down the windshield you can go, look at the sides of your windshield and there are marks on both sides, that’s where you’re legally allowed to go down to.
