It is necessary to leave a section uncovered for rearview mirrors when applying car window film. Below are relevant details about window film application: 1. Precautions for film application: When applying film, it is essential to choose high-quality film and have it installed by professional technicians. Inferior films may not meet light transmittance standards, which can impair the driver's visibility during nighttime driving. It is not advisable to apply film on the front windshield as it may obstruct the driver's view. When applying film to the driver and front passenger side windows, two sections should be cut out to ensure the driver has a clear view of the side rearview mirrors. After the film is applied, avoid rolling the windows up or down as this may cause the film to peel off. 2. Film lifespan: Generally, car window film can last about three years. After removing the film, residual adhesive may remain on the glass. Before attempting to remove the adhesive, it is important to soften it first to facilitate removal. If the adhesive is not softened and scraped off directly, it may leave scratches on the glass. After softening the adhesive with alcohol or essential balm, use a plastic scraper to remove it, avoiding hard metal tools that could scratch the glass.
