Third Break Light Tint

[BubbaStanGT]

Attempted to put on the 3rd break light tint today and failed . Put it on this morning around 10, not rain until this afternoon. After I got done playing with the throttle body I saw the strip laying on the ground. I was able to wash it off and it still has some tackiness left.
How do I get that BI to stay on there? I bought it from AM and did not come with instructions. I thought it would be easy that even my noobie non mechanical ass could do it but nope. Help a Bubba out would ya

did you clean the lens before applying the vinyl. You have to make sure that it is squeaky clean. No dirt, wax, nothing.
I don't know if the one currently have would work still, but clean the lens and try it again.

I used alcohol and cleaned the snot outta it. I put it on the same way I did my vinyl hood decal, with soapy water and a squeegee. Sprayed the tint and placed it on the light. Squeegee'd the bubbles out and let it sit. I have never tinted a window or anything else in my life, thought this would work I could have been totally wrong here. I think that I still can use it but dont know what to do. Double sided clear tape, will that work?

First of all, did you put the sticky side on the light??, couldn't resist. Here is how I Did Mine.


1) Remove lens from car, make life lots easier.
2) use preps all or alcohol to clean the lens.
3) Using a spray bottle which contains a mixture of 2-3 drops liquid detergant in water.
4) Spray lens
5) place decal over lens and center
6) get in car and start up, turn on heat to vents
7) making sure to keep the decal centered, move it accross the vent to help evaporate the water.( can use a heat gun or hair dryer, but the heater in the car works fine)
8) once it is all dry and covered, re-install and enjoy.
Hope this helps. Should take about 10 minutes total.

Sorry mate, couldn't resist. Hell, mail that bitch to me and I'll do it for you.

 

[BubbaStanGT]

Can I mail the car down and let you fix everything? lol

I havent gotten to the break light yet, but I did do my headlights today. It came out pretty nice for not really having a clue what to do really.

use a hairdryer on it while u squeegeeing it...lol

 

[Ghostly Echo]

like pony said use a hair dryer when tint is applied to windows heat is used to finish it up so the tint grips the material your applying it to

Ya, thats what I ended up doing. THanks yall
