Guest ultimateaudio Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Having difficulty heat shrinking Rear Passenger Barn Door. I have about a year experience and I have done many rear windows. However, this one is difficult. The tint keeps creasing. Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas?

Guest ultimateaudio Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 ok...sorry...I just wanted to post something quick to see if any one had suggestions...well here is what we did....we took the glass out...two screws on top and one on the bottom so it was fairly easy to take off....we put the window on the horse....and faced the window as on the car....took a dryer sheet and then took a wet lint free towel to anchor the film down in the middle and on the sides....then proceded to heat shrink the window.....at this point the film would shrink but almost in an inward motion which would cause it to crease....tried this 2 times and still came up with the same solution.....the second time around I wet shrink to see if there was a difference and I got the same result.....

blade Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 sounds like you're shrinking the film the wrong direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coolrides Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 sounds like you're shrinking the film the wrong direction yeah I agree, a madico rep gave me a sample rolled the wrong way and it wanted to pull across the window like rippling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nero004 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 those windows are harder then they seem, ive dry shrinked and wet shrunk them, be very carefull, I noticed it was ALOT easier using the baby powder but it seems like it takes forever, just take your time and be patient, btw you dont have to remove the glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool dude Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Ive done a few of those vans (wet shrink) ...fingers are little big just take your time and breakdown the fingers little by little...overall not a hard van to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
