How to Install Car Sunshade and Heat Insulation Film?
2 Answers
First, thoroughly clean the car to remove dust, then park it in a clean, dust-free area in preparation for film installation. Measure the dimensions of all areas on the car where the heat insulation film needs to be applied. Cut the film according to the measured dimensions, ensuring it is not undersized. Peel off the film, evenly spray water on the adhesive side, attach the sprayed side to the car window, and use a soft squeegee to remove all water between the glass and the film.
When I applied sunshade heat insulation film to my car myself before, it was quite a hassle! First, I had to prepare the tools: a spray bottle filled with soapy water, a clean squeegee, and a utility knife. Before starting, the car windows must be thoroughly cleaned, leaving no dust or scratches from fingernails, otherwise bubbles will form under the film. Then, cut the film slightly larger than the glass, spray water while applying it, and gently squeegee from the center outward to remove water and bubbles. If any bubbles remain, carefully poke a tiny hole with a needle to squeeze them out. Remember to trim off the excess edges, or they might peel. My first attempt took two hours, and my hands were sore, but the car was noticeably cooler in summer. I recommend getting help or choosing a shady day to avoid film deformation from direct sunlight. After application, avoid washing the car for a few days to let the adhesive set properly.
