@@FlexFilmPlus thanks for the quick reply Ralph... Also how do u get rid of the finger bubbles in the tint on side windows. They aren't huge bubbles more like Wrinkles.
I tried a diy install the other day on front windows. Cut was perfect, install at top and sides were perfect. But I kept getting these moisture fingers. I shrunk on outside, but I could see the moisture running up the film and creating fingers. It was driving me nuts. I’m going to try the double snap. Thanks.
But how the hell you clean the rubber and the little brush that take the water of the window. I tinded my windows and it came up nicely but everytime i lower my windows wet and then pull them back up, they come up durty and with streaks. I even tried claying the windows (asumed they were still dirty) but it doesn't help. Inside of the rubber there is a little brush-like strip and i see all kinds of dirt on it. How you clean that ?
I brought my new Ford Mustang (owned less than a month) to Custom 4 Wheel Parts & Accessories at 7101 South Blvd. Charlotte, NC on December 3rd, 2016 to have my front windows, rear quarter windows, and rear window tinted with LLumar Window Film (LLumar). Less than a week later, all windows showed bubbling and dust spots under the film. At this point, I scheduled an appointment with them to have the windows redone and fixed. At which time I also noticed a 1-2" horizontal scratch on my driver side window that they stated was already there and also refused to do anything about. When they finished and backed it out in the parking lot, I saw the same issues with the tint as before and they redid the tint (again) the same day. However, the tint is even worse than before and more issues have developed. I scheduled an appointment to bring my car in for today (December 21st, 2016) due to the bubbling and tears around the windows. Due to this being my third time coming to their shop (and forth time having the tint replaced), I requested to have all the tint removed and a refund issued. The shop owner refused to refund my money and remove the tint. How can I remove this horrible tint without ruining my interior, windows, or rear defroster? Thank you. Pictures: imgur.com/a/i3mOv
what about a bubble that appears on the back glass on the defroster line?? The bubble is not on the edge of the film but it is along the defroster several inches from the edge. I've heated the glass and film and it removes the bubble, but 5 minutes later it comes back. It's almost like the defroster line collects solution or has a defect to retain moisture... any help??
Terry B I know you asked 3 years ago but you must’ve missed a spot when yu were smoothing out those defroster lines. Or simply nice piece of dirt or lint.
David Yancovich haha i feel you brother ! During the cold months was hard and really tiring. 4 years ago i was tinting and wrapping cars in my drive way. I now have 2 shops
Don't get them in the first place. You move all fingers to the factory edges of the film. Film only really shrinks in one direction - toward factory edges.
I appreciate your efford put into this video. I got all the answets i needed.
I can tell by the look of that moisture bubble that this is a quality film!
Informative video! Thanks for sharing Ralph.
Awesome vid Ralph
I like your southern accent!
I remove the part from the lever of the mirror and carefully open a space from the packaging of the door cover
what I learned from this video:
step one, fingers appear
step two, perform magic
step three, fingers disappear
Thank you!
Possible to do a vid on how to tint glass when a rear spoiler is attached to a vehicle such as suv's or hatchback vehicles?
Is it normal to get bubbles after tinting the window I have a few air bubbles and I'm hoping they go away when completely dry
You needed to shrink it from the outside for those small bubbles I believe
Whats a good mixture? Whats a good soap to mix? And how much
One drop of johnsons baby shampoo every 250ml and you're fine.
If u don't have a heat gun can u use a hair dryer?
Not really. Hair dryer does not get hot enough.

Ralph could you tint a convertible rear glass window...it has no border
and is hard to shrink?
good job Ralph
Question irrelevant to the fingers but is your peel board tempered ?
Thanks sir
So which films don’t have aggressive fingering?

Matrix points can easily be covered on some cars,whilst they can be a pain in other cars.Other white areas but the Matrix points means a bad tint
Which soap do you use and at what water to soap ratio?
Through reading forums and video comments I've found most people (including pros) use just a small squirt of baby shampoo in their bottle of water.
2 squirts per litre of baby shampoo.
I prefer to open a space between the glass and the door panel by removing the lever part from the mirror. those sparks seals are annoying.
How to tint a door window bengoli vertion.

Can u take a pin make a very tiny hole on end work towards pin hole so the air has some place to go
How do you fix after they happened?
You can heat them from the inside.
@@FlexFilmPlus what about tint on rear window that has bubble appear after 10 years can u still heat up?
@@friendlyneighborhoodmechan2606
No. That is an adhesive failure. Time for removal.
i have to tint windows outside , and the wind is my worst enemy...
David Yancovich haha i feel you brother ! During the cold months was hard and really tiring. 4 years ago i was tinting and wrapping cars in my drive way. I now have 2 shops
0 help....need to know hiw to get rid of bubbles that run side to side on the glass
Don't get them in the first place. You move all fingers to the factory edges of the film. Film only really shrinks in one direction - toward factory edges.
You can heat them out with a heat gun if they pop up after installation
Use a hard card at a gentle diagnonal angle to turn it into a vertical and then handle it as usual
agree, came here to see how to deal with them when they showed up a few days after the install and never the actual fix
Did I miss you explain how to get rid of finger bubbles. , I heard you explain how to avoid them.
9/10 tries there gonna be bubbles or dirt on the window.
My problem is that i keep getting stinking fingers cause i keep putting them in somebody else;s sugar bowl you catch my drift. LOL
I just tinted my windows and have all kinds of fingers. Should have watched this before :,\
Man ain't tint hard to do huh. I tinted 3 of my families car and wasted a lot of tint. Luckily I bought my tint for $36 20 inch by 100 feet
