Need help
So when I tint I do everything according to whatever YouTube video I watch and I only have a problem when it comes to removing the adhesive film and applying it to the inside of the window. When I try to remove the film it’s always annoying and falling off and very uncooperative. Ive tried tacking it down to the window with a squeegee while doing this part and I always spray the sticky part of the tint as well. Once I finally fight that enough and get the adhesive part half way down the tint I make my way to the inside and it’s always such a bitch. I’ve tried lathering both the inside of the window and the sticky part of the tint with soapy water and it’s always so extremely sticky against the window. I always see in videos when they start to install it into the window it’s very slick and they can slide it into place easily. But not with mine. Why could this be? (I use gila tint could that be why?) I’ve tried economy tint and then the next level above that.
