Post by **COURGETTE** » 12 Jul 2007, 07:55

ok, done the side windows myself, and dont look too bad. but need to do the back. now some have said they used the window film, some did it ok and some struggled, and some said they would take the tail gate off to do it next time coz of the cupboard.
what i need to know is !!!! is it best to do it in one sheet ? or...... do it in strips ? like it says on the tin (sort o speak)

I wont be able to reply for few days as i'm off n away in doris, but really would appreciate advice

but cant afford to have it done by a pro either, which would be nice, but hey.

fank you x

For the tailgate what you need is a flip top head...only joking. Once the glass is clean, get some help and pull down the tailgate so you are almost jamming yourselves in offer up the film and start squeegeeing once the majority of it is squeegeed ask your partner to open the tailgate slightly allowing you to move around while they still hold it in place.

I used to make signs and apply graphics as a job and managed to do this on my own, but for a moment i was wearing the film on my head!!

Good luck

just done mine using roughly the same method as snraem described.
The actual film was not quite wide enough to cover all the window so I just evened the gap up top and bottom (about 5mm gap at each) and stuck it like that .Looks OK
