Tinting to the edge

[Guest Wade33Zo]

On any car window, should the film be to the very top of the window, or should there be a tiny gap?

[Guest losdawg]

On roll ups I leave a very small (micro) gap. On fixed windows there should be no gap.

[Guest Wade33Zo]

^What's the reason for that? So the film doesn't wear down?

to prevent the top edge from peeling up due to the window meeting the gasket when rolled up

if it is too close there are higher chances of it peeling. 1/8" to 1/16" is good

to get the closest edge you need to shave the tint ...but you must be very experienced to do that it takes practice but the closest look to factory edge

I prefer to micro edge. Never tried shaving. Chewing up the edge doesn't seem right to me. I may try it next time I redo my windows just to see how it goes.

No gap or small gap are both acceptable ways to do it

I rarely shave most people do not want to pay for it

small gap is fine large gap is not and on some windows they have a rounded edge to them so theres no way to go to the top.
