How to Repair Damaged Car Window Film?
2 Answers
Damaged car window film cannot be repaired and needs to be replaced with new film. Precautions for car window film application are: 1. Before applying the film, check whether the installation of the car window glass is complete and the integrity of the car glass; 2. Clean the inner and outer surfaces of the car windows before applying the film; 3. Do not roll the windows up or down within 3 days after applying the film; 4. Do not clean the heat-insulating film or turn on the defogger switch within one week after applying the film; 5. Do not use solutions containing alcohol or ammonia to clean the surface of the film; 6. Do not let the air conditioner blow directly at the film to avoid drastic thermal expansion and contraction. The functions of car window film are: 1. Heat insulation and sun protection; 2. UV protection; 3. Safety and explosion-proof; 4. Anti-glare.
Last time my car film bubbled, I first checked the damage level. Small bubbles can be fixed by yourself - buy a repair kit online containing cleaner and embossing tools. Follow instructions: clean glass with alcohol, cut new film to size and align it, then smooth with a credit card to avoid remaining bubbles. The tools are simple and cost just over ten yuan, but steady hands are needed to prevent misalignment affecting aesthetics. For large damage or complete peeling, don't risk DIY - visit a professional shop for complete reapplication. They have heat guns and techniques for durable, cost-effective UV protection. Park in shade to prolong film life. In short, try DIY for minor issues, leave complex jobs to professionals for peace of mind.
