2.2 Passos d'instal·lació

  1. Clean the Window: Thoroughly clean the interior surface of the car window using the soapy water solution and a squeegee. Ensure all dirt, dust, and debris are removed. Pay close attention to the edges and window gasket.

  6. Retallar l'excés: Use a sharp utility knife to carefully trim any excess film along the edges of the window, ensuring a clean, flush fit. Roll the window down slightly (about 5cm) to trim the top edge accurately.
  7. Final Squeegee: Perform a final pass with the squeegee to remove any remaining water and bubbles. Wipe the window and film dry with a lint-free cloth.
