Jljoseluis Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 When I think about it sounds like there is no gap on the edge, what I always do is leave about 3 mil of gap but I don't know if that is microedge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tint Eastwood Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Micro edge.....I believe is little to no gap at top edge achieved by installing the film up to but not over the edge. If the top is trimmed later this would be called shaving/filing. Anything bigger than a 1/8", I wouldn't consider a micro edge. I could be totally wrong and someone will be along shortly to point out where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coast2coasttinting Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I micro edge all my doors. This means leaving less then 1/16th of an inch gap at the top of the window or less. I try to make my gaps more like 1/32nd of an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coast2coasttinting Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 no way I am shaving my doors. Leaving no gap on door glasses does void any sort of manny's warranty. And after 8 to 10 year the film will start to seperate along the shaved edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tint Eastwood Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I only shave frameless. Maybe a roll up here or there if my cut went a little wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
