Ryker Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I have just started doing this....holds up better than masking tape and IF you need to heat the bottom of the window for a finger or something then it helps act as a heat shield too. works great for those decks that are just ALMOST out of the way.

pike_madcat Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 great tip been doing that for years...also comes in handy if you have a headliner that flaking and falling apart..use a scrap piece of tint and put it over the flaky headliner...badabing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use thumb tacks for falling head liners and if I got some 3m on hand I'll just stick back up for them takess 30 sec and it out of your why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryker Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 the tint is on the rear deck to cover the fuzzy "carpet". I use a heat gun SOMETIMES inside when a finger pops up on the bottom and the film will help shield the deck. If a headliner is not in good shape I just simply tell them to hit the road until they get it fixed.....not worth the headache to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boyd Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Yeah been doing this one also, works well. I usually do it to cover rear speaker too. Saves them filling up with water. Aparently that doesn't make the customer happy... jokes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autoez22 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 you can also quickly swipe the heatgun where the carpet meets the glass to remove small fibers sticking up. just remember to keep the heat gun on low and do it quick. dont wanna melt nothen. just kill little fibers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryker Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 this is for the decks that the carpet will touch slightly no matter what..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
