As I thought, tinting the windshield glass well myself is going to be harder than I could fully appreciate before trying. I am into my second test effort on a rear side window. I get creases into the film soooo easily! I am gonna more aggressively follow this guy's methods when I return after the rain (which is blowing into town right now).
I have no pictures of my efforts, but my work ain't much to look at anyway. I will try to take some as I go forward.
