How to Tint Front Window Car Glass
Purchasing tinted windows can add a large expense when buying your new car. Having the windows replaced with newly tinted windows down the line is even more expensive. Instead of paying thousands to add tinted glass to your front window, apply a window tint kit. If applied correctly, most people will never know the window has film placed over it.

Apply the window tinting and make sure it is on straight. Use the heat gun to apply heat onto the film. This will adhere the tint to the glass. Make sure to heat every part of the tint, because the last thing you need is for the tint to appear wrinkly and bubbly once the tinting has completed. You want people to think the window is actually tinted and doesn't just have film attached to it. Allow time to cool and use a razor blade to trim off any excess areas of film.
