:thumbup: very helpful post, thanks. One thing I liked about the 3m film, which you just confirmed, is that it doesn't fade or scratch(thats what the tint dude told me). I was checking out his work while I was there and noticed that at the top of the window(on a late model mustang) there was about a 1/16" gap between the edge of the window and the film, I asked about it, he said he could make it to where there was no gap, but the lifetime warranty he provides on his work would be void cause when the window rolls up into the rubber weather stripping, he said eventually, it will peel the film, but leaving that 1/16" gap, warranty is in effect and the film wont peel. having no gap looks cleaner, but if that could lead to my film peeling, I think I'll just deal w/the gap. I forgot to ask if he does the rear window w/ a single piece:doh: I hope so.
