Window tint can be an attractive as well as practical addition to any car or truck. Make sure you understand the legal regulations regarding window tinting in your area before you purchase a tinting kit. Some states have a limit to how dark the tinting can be. Window tint is not allowed to cover the windshield of a vehicle.
Prepare the Surface
Before you begin to apply the window tinting to your car windows, make sure they are completely clean and dry. Any stray dust or dirt will be trapped between your window and your tinting forever once the tinting is applied. Over time, the dust and dirt will cause the tinting to wrinkle or distort as it expands and contracts due to extreme temperatures. Dust can also keep the tinting from adhering to the window effectively when you are trying to apply it in the first place. A standard window cleaner and paper towels should be all you need to get your windows clean enough for window tint.
Measure Twice, Cut Once
Car windows may seem relatively straight and square, but they have quite a few angles and tight corners to fit your window tinting into. The best way to measure your window for tinting is to use a scrap piece of paper and draw the outline of your window on it. Leave about an inch of extra space all the way around the window so that you have some extra to work with. Place the paper cutout of the window over the sheet of window tinting and follow it carefully with an exacto knife. This should give you an accurately sized piece of tinting to apply to your window.
Smoothing Out the Bubbles
Dampen the adhesive side of your tinting, and apply it to the window from one end to the other. As you put the tinting on the window, use a flat squeegee to smooth the film and help it adhere more firmly to the window. Also use the squeegee to smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles that form in the tinting. Once the tinting is applied and smooth, you can trim the excess from around the edges.
