How difficult is it to apply this plastic tinted window covering?

My car has had this tint applied to side and back windows, but is starting to peel off, so before I make my mind up to apply new stuff, just thought I would ask if any body else had used it and how difficult is it to put on, and is it realy worth the money?How difficult is it to apply this plastic tinted window covering?
When done professionally it will look better, I have done the back windows in an estate car (cargo area) %26amp; got a pretty good result but its time consuming, fiddly %26amp; very easy to screw up.





It is quite expensive if you get it wrong %26amp; I wouldn't bother doing it again. Also I'm not clear from your question which windows you are considering doing, tinting some windows is a construction %26amp; use offense, heres a link to ensure you don't fall foul of the law;

The film is really a waste of time, and a real pain to get it right. There are spray on types that will work, but if you really want tinted windows bad, buy replacement windows with factory tint ';in'; the glass.
Ever seen cars with blacked-out windows with creases, bubbles %26amp; tears in them? Well that's DIY window tinting film. The pro shops will remove door glass (easy when you know how) %26amp; will clean all glass PROPERLY before applying their tints. This costs around 200 quid %26amp; looks the buisness!
What he said - it's gonna be a 110% better result if you can remove the glass from the doors, side fixed windows if you have them, and the rear window. clean them spotless and squeaky clean in the bath, and soak the film oin a hot bath of water. Separating the film from the backing might just drive you completely insane, it's a REALLY fiddly job best done with a razor-blade, and is like being given a sheet of paper and trying to veneer it into two! I've tinted windows on my old Opels before, you need a squuegee to get all the air bubbles out, and let the glass dry completely whilst squeezing out all the remaining water.


Possible, but not easy.
I've just thrown away a windscreen tinted strip which goes inside the screen at the top. It was impossible to get it right. I was trying to do it alone, but even with several other pairs of hands, it would have been impossible.
