:lol OK, so it's the first day back after a two week break but....... PLEASE someone tell me it's the cold weather, or they are a sod to do, but I've just attempted my first Corsa & I could not get it right!

I think (hope?) I overcooked the corners when (wet) shrinking. I could not get the two top corners to lie down. Try as I might, they didn't want to stick down & eventually, yes you guessed, I ended up creasing the film so badly.......

Any tips, positive encouragement etc would be gratefully received!!

Is it a two-piece job? Was the film to cold? I am I just sh!t......?

Inexperience breeds desolation!

:thumb I never heard of it either. I found a pic.

awwwwww It's not you mototint. :lol6 Cold really does affect tint for me and the way my hands work too. And my attitude. :rollin It's stiffer and harder to work with, but that really may be a bugger of a back glass.

What kind of film were you using ? :uh Did you try stretching it towards the center while you heated it (as a big sheet...before making any cuts) Get it away from those top corners so you have less there to deal with. This I learned here... seems to help on those Pain in the butt curved back glasses.

Devil mentioned "stretching it towards the middle" Can you explain?

the back glass looks like the Mini Vans We have here in USA, Like DODGE and STuff... Dont look that hard. TRY DRY SHRINKING WITH BOUNCE

The 3-door should be a one piece with dry shrink. The 5-door is on the edge, can be done in one but makes sense for many tinters to do it in two or with relief cuts.

The corsa is one of the easiest cars to do along with the astra - one piece back screen either dry or wet shrink. :hide
