i just went right over the defrost lines with the Sqee-Gee really hard

i just brought the stuff form wal-mart

doesn't really have a brand name but i came out good

no bubbles or nuthin

yeah


well, i judged it 2 soon,

i went out to look at it this morning and one big section turned into a giant air-bubble because of the severe curvature of the hatch window, so i just pulled it off

 

I was going to buy the same tint(some cheap *** brand), good thing i didnt.

actually it would have worked fine but the severe curve of the rear hatch creates air pockets that cant be deleted

it would prolly work good on your side windows

 

I am not a tint expert, but have done this a couple of times.

I found that the best place to purchase tint is from a tint company.

1. Clean both sides of your rear window...yes...even the outside.

2. Lay the tint on the outside of the window (with the backing still on...DO NOT PEEL IT).
Trim the tint.

3. Use a heat gun or hairdryer to shape the tint. Push bubbles out. Frequently sray the tint keeping it wet. Dont burn or warp it going gun crazy. If you plan on making it a two piece, cut where the defrost lines are. This is where you will join it together. The defrost lines will hide it. If there are no lines, then it will be a little harder making a one piece.

4. Now lay it in the inside.

It should not bubble up if you had shaped it properly.

The best way to lay tint in my opinion is to take it to the tint shop and have them sweat. It's around $120.
