Craig is right on the money Curt. I have a friend who owns a tint shop and
they use mad amounts of the solution.
One thing I've noticed that they do, is use the exterior of the window as a
template to cut the file to the correct size.
He recently did my gf car and I watched them use that method.
Because of the frustration factor I rather pay them to do it. I never had
the patience to deal with that sh*t.
Also make sure you use a good quality film, the film you get at any store
whether it be walmat of AZ is complete crap.
Just my .02. Good luck
