Trans am bg

[mlemm99]

My first trans am coming up. Iv done a total of about 12 vechicles so I don't have tons of experience. What kind of anchor should I use? What kind of pattern to shrink in? Anything to get me going the right way on this before I start would be awesome. Thanks guys.

Do a search or look for it in the makes and models threads. Id do a wet shrink. Not much shrinking on the bottom for the last generation. Easy car, dont let it fool you.

this back glass can be done either wet or dry, I personally do them dry. Anchor the sides only, shrinking 3 large sections vertically start in the center and work your way out. It takes practice. goodluck

roll up a micro fiber towel. Use that to move the fingers, you stretch the film more than shrink on that type of window. go from the center down and outwards. Easy peasy

Nobody asked what year of a TA we are talking about...that can make ALL the difference in the world. So I will ask....what year?

stretch the bottom squeegee down, only shrink the top.

Or if it has defrosters or not.

if he is doing an old relic TA, good luck. I assumed it was the current (last f body). But if it is,, steal the camero cards off the trunk lid.

I just did one for the first time, it took 5.5 hours!!! It took me 4 tries to get the back glass and I had to redo each rollup once. When you lay the film, you're gonna have a pocket in the bottome middle section and you'll have one huge 12" finger on each side of the middle pocket. I heated the big fingers on low about 2-3 times, spraying more water under film after each pass(see TOTW). I had trouble with this one, but like others have said, its easy when once you get the hang of it. I think I could easily do this one in under 2 hours next time.
