Watch this video to find out how to apply tinted film to a rear window!
Step 1: Prepare the glass
Clean your rear window properly with a sponge and soapy water, then dry it with a clean paper towel.
For perfect, dust-free cleaning, don't hesitate to use a wiper pad.
Step 2: Apply the tinted film
Spray the entire pane with soapy water, then separate the protective liner from the film using 2 pieces of scotch tape applied opposite each other at an angle. Wet your fingers to remove the protective film from the auto-tinted film.
Unfold the film while spraying it with soapy water (this neutralizes the glue) and place it on the bezel, then start taping. Trim the film to the contours of the glass and complete the "H" shape.
Marouflage tip: marouflage is done in three main stages.
- Start by taping from the middle to the 2 ends
- Then marouflage the edges, starting from the middle of the film and working your way to the edges. Your taping movements should overlap so as not to leave any untapped spaces.
- Finish with the middle part of the bezel, always troweling from the center to the edges.
Step 3: Finish the installation
Wrap the maroufle in a dry cloth, then run it over the tinted glass again gently to dry and absorb the water. You're done!
