1 Exterior Cleaning

Moving in a clockwise direction along the car (starting from the "1 o'clock" position, the position of the passenger's front side door), the outer surface of each glass should be well For cleaning, potential dust is kept to a minimum by gently lowering each pane of glass to scrub the top of the glass where more dust is found.

2 Contour cutting

Spray a small amount of window film installation liquid on the outer surface of the window glass, cover the window film on it, with the peeling film facing outward, and after careful sliding positioning, Start cutting the window film to size around the border. Keep the film firmly attached to the glass during the cutting operation. Skilled installers can use the frame to cut directly with their bare hands. Do not damage the frame when cutting.

Installers often begin by cutting, trimming, and installing all of the side window film and then proceed to install the rear window glass. In theory, easy first and then difficult is the best installation order.

3 Heat Setting

After cutting the window film to size, any bending in the glass will be apparent. Almost all rear windows (and many side windows) have a spherical bow that prevents the window film from laying flat on the glass. This phenomenon in window film is called wrinkling. Using a portable heat gun, the window film can be accurately shrunk and shaped onto the composite curved surface of most car windows. Eliminate wrinkles that appear on curved surfaces. In the past, most rear window glass required cutting multiple pieces to install on a spherical curved surface.

The heat gun heat setting method is performed before installation, which not only saves a lot of time in dealing with wrinkles, but also makes the window film look more comfortable and beautiful. Heat shaping is the single most important process for speeding up the installation process and producing the most professional installation results.

4 Cleaning of the inner surface of the glass

After cutting and any required heat shaping, the inner surface of the glass must be cleaned with a powerful liquid cleaner. Most surfaces can be shoveled with a scraper to remove dirt, and then use a nylon soft wiper to scrub away the oil. Finally, the window glass is scraped clean, and the frame is wiped clean with a soft cloth and wiping paper to restore the clean state of the glass surface. Special caution is required when cleaning rear windows (especially those with defogging wire and black decorative glaze dots on the edges).

5 Peel off the protective film

After the glass cleaning is completed, the protective film of the window film is torn off. After the installation liquid is sprayed on the adhesive surface of the window film, the same is true for the inner surface of the glass. Spray installation fluid. Various sophisticated techniques have been developed over the years that make installation faster and minimize the risk of dust particles being introduced during the tiling process.

Laying of window film - side window glass

As the protective film is peeled off and the installation fluid is sprayed on the adhesive layer between the glass and the window film, the window film can slip in place.

Paving of window film - rear window glass As mentioned, the installation of window film on the rear window glass is the biggest challenge for the installer, so we will talk about "front and rear solar film" later. Whole sheet pasting techniques”.

Squeeze water

After each piece of window film settles in its final position, the installation fluid should be sprayed again on the surface of the window film immediately to lubricate the surface of the squeeze water. Special squeezing tools are used to remove all air bubbles and as much installation fluid as possible. The remaining moisture will slowly pass through the window film and be eliminated after a few days. The drying time of the window film depends on the climate, humidity, structure of the window film and the amount of residual moisture after squeezing out water.

6 Edge inspection and edge sealing

Check all edges of the window film and squeeze it with a Teflon hard sheet (or other tools of the same series). All edges must be extruded and sealed to prevent air, moisture, and dust particles from penetrating under the window film from the edges during curing. Usually, the edges of these squeezing tools need to be covered with a thin absorbent material (paper towel or cotton cloth) to absorb the squeezed water.

7 Final Cleaning and Inspection

When the installation work is completed, all window panes are carefully scrubbed (inside and outside surfaces) to remove streaks and smudges, giving The whole car has a glossy look. Look for problem areas: an air bubble here, a blister there, or tiny carpet fibers that have been eliminated along a certain edge. Special hard water-squeezing tablets can eliminate most problems. Wipe down the car and take it outside for a final visual inspection.
