For some reason mine did not stay on the window as I was peeling off the transfer tape. Is there a reason why? I used the squeegee as well. There was a bubble here and there that I could not flatten out.
Sometimes the weather can be a factory. If it is hot the adhesive may soften and start to peel off. If the flag is still on your window, you can send a picture and contact our customer service team and let them know the situation. This is the email you can reach them: customerservice@bogartechdesigns.com
It all depends on what state you live in. Example in California you can have any shade of darkness on the rear section of the vehicle and around 20-30% of shade on the front.
For the darksmoke the percentage is around 20% while the lightsmoke is around 40%. You can get the rear in light all you would need to do is once you place your order, contact our customer service team at customerservice@bogartechdesigns.com and give them your order number information and notify them that you want to request the light smoke version for the rear lights.
We've seen different installers use installation gel for ppf, which can be used you just need to find the correct solution. With us we just use water and baby shampoo in order to create the slip solution.
Because of the deep curve design the front grille has it can be difficult to one piece each side without having any creases. So that is why we created different pieces for an easier install.
I did this to my Nissan Sentra SR. Prep the area well and take your time and it will come out pretty good for what you are paying for. Also make sure you have everything you need first.
I just received the same flag, but it was folded on the end U think I can use a hair dryer to even it out ?otherwise, I'm going to send it back and get another one
Hello, you can use a hair dryer to help remove the folded section of the flag. However, if that part did get damaged during shipping you can also contact our customer service that way they can help you out with a replacement. This is the email you can use to reach out to them: customerservice@bogartechdesigns.com
Post-heating helps the adhesive on the film activate faster that way it sticks/ cures to the panel that was installed and preventing it from lifting overtime.
I know it’s been a year since this was posted, but wouldn’t this be illegal? Cause from what I know it’s illegal to have tint on your brake lights in all 50 states. This isn’t any kind of hate comment, I am just genuinely curious because if it isn’t I’m gonna tint the brake lights on my dart
No worries, tail light tinting is usually not recommended since it does slightly reduce the light with the darker film. However, if it is a film that is lighter it should be fine. Also it is more on personal preference of the consumer if they want to change the look of the tail lights.
For window tint, before installing the film you need to heat shrink the film to the shape of the glass. This step is done in order to remove any fingers that you may encounter while doing the installation. Once you finish heat shrinking then that is when the protective layer of the tint is removed and you install the tint on the inside of the window.
@@BogarTechDesigns thanks for the reply! couldn’t this all be done on the inside though? Including the heat treatment and finger removal? I’ll follow instruction as you describe since that’s proper method but just curious if this has ever been tried
It can be done but you would need to remove the door panel from the vehicle which is an extra step. We only recommend removing the door panel if the installer is comfortable with removing the door panel and without any damage to the vehicle.
I wish it was that easy. I picked up the side chrome delete set for the cx5. I did an ok job, I had a few wrinkles, i wish I could do it over, when I heated it the vinyl seemed to shrink a little, revealing a little bit of the chrome. Ooops.
