Default Re: DIY: Window Tint Install

I chose to go with 35% tint, which for most is standard. However, rvinyl.com does have 50%, 20%, and 5% also. One thing I liked was that I could actually choose what shade I wanted for each windows, front, back, and rear.

Preparation:

Before I go out to do the install I need to prep some things to help prep the windows which will hopefully make the install easier. At least everyone I have talked to says it will.

First thing that is needed is to clean the windows. For this you will need to prep a water/alcohol solution to help strip any grime off the window. Use a 2-to-1 Water to Alcohol mixture.

Also, during installation you will need a soapy water mixture. It is recommended to use a baby shampoo as it is mild and you are using this mixture to keep the tint from prematurely sticking not as a cleaning substance. So the mild baby shampoo works great. You shouldn't need much shampoo, maybe a couple ounces at most for a 32oz spray bottle.

It is 12:30a on Sunday so I will be doing the install tomorrow morning and will try to take as many pictures as possible during the install. If you look on rvinyl.com there are multiple install videos that can also help, and if you choose you can also purchase an installation DVD from them.

Hopefully for those who haven't already installed tint but want to, this will help almost as much as maxicichon's HID install write up

NOTE: I have no connection with rvinyl.com and will give you my honest opinion about their product right after installation and a few weeks later to see how its holding up and so on...
