Window tinting help needed
Ok so i bought a roll of tintthe other day and i tinted up all the side windows on moms nissan quest
( easy car to learn on )
After some trial and error i got the side windows down good, no bubbles or fingers or anything.
I tried the back window but it was hopeless, i kept gettin wrinkles and creases and fingers along the top and bottom.
I wasnt sure if a heat gun would help or even how to use it if i had one.
can anyone help me out?

There is a way to doing it.. it's too long to describe here but search around for heat shrinking.. btw, prepare to mess it up big time.
then you also need to reverse roll it onto the window...
all it takes is experience and patience. not rocket science but it is fiddly..
