there a twat to fit personally
i used normal film not pre cut stuff an took the windows down

basically soap ur windows up with soapy water (obviously) :lol:
then peel the backin off the film and fit onto the window
then use a squeeqe thing and remove all the water\air bubbles also a heat gun\hair dryer will help

Is it better to take the windows out to do this?

yes definately! as wiv the windows out u can work on them at which ever angle u want instead of wiv them upright, and also u can cut the egdes closer wiv the windows out

you can do it in one go

all you do is
put the film on the window (witht the window out) on the out side of the window
make sure when puting the film down that the back peals off toward you not the window
then heat the film till it get to the shape
when its got the rite shape

then do what epo says


basically soap ur windows up with soapy water (obviously)
then peel the backin off the film and fit onto the window
then use a squeeqe thing and remove all the water\air bubbles also a heat gun\hair dryer will help

my dad done a nova rescreen for someone down the road from me
it went on perfect when doin it like this
hope this helps
