1. 0:04hey folks this video with TS and today
2. 0:07I'll show you how to save hundreds of
3. 0:08Dos on professional tinting by doing a
4. 0:11doityourself window tint uh on the Tesla
5. 0:14Model 3 now we have the highlength here
6. 0:17but it's the same uh on the previous
7. 0:20generation model 3 uh the differences
8. 0:22are tiny and it's the same principle on
9. 0:25the model y as well so before we
10. 0:28begin uh let me just speak a little bit
11. 0:31about what you're getting other than the
12. 0:32th cutouts that are cut to fit perfectly
13. 0:35and be easy to install uh you're also
14. 0:38getting a rubber squeegee and a plastic
15. 0:40one and you will need your own spray
16. 0:43bottle that you want to fill up uh with
17. 0:46the liquid soap and water I mix them in
18. 0:48about 11 15 ratio uh but you basically
19. 0:51need this to be really soapy for this to
20. 0:54work easily now the first step of the
21. 0:57installation will be to pop the window
22. 0:59open
23. 1:00which I'll do using the plastic squeegee
24. 1:02uh you basically want to move this hinge
25. 1:06here so the window pops open and be very
26. 1:10careful to not close the door once the
27. 1:12window is open because if you close it
28. 1:14it may break it will uh scratch the
29. 1:17stream here so just be careful about
30. 1:20that now the next step would be to use
31. 1:23my soapy
32. 1:24solution to clean this
33. 1:33and if you want if you want to uh avoid
34. 1:36getting this wet although nothing
35. 1:38happens if you get it wet you can put a
36. 1:40trash bag uh a plastic trash bag here uh
37. 1:43you can hold it with paper tape it works
38. 1:47great but
39. 1:49again it's not much water nothing really
40. 1:53happens you can just wipe it after up to
41. 1:55you now that this is clean uh I will
42. 1:59spray my tint I put it on the on the
43. 2:01trunk I'll spray the tint on top I'll
44. 2:04lift it up spray the adhesive side and
45. 2:06then I'll transfer it
46. 2:09here and notice that there will be the
47. 2:11letters P and D indicating passenger and
48. 2:14Driver
49. 2:22sides just before I put the tint I'll
50. 2:24spray again
51. 2:31and
52. 2:32then let's apply the
53. 2:39tin now I'll use my plastic squidy to C
54. 2:43it in
55. 2:44here and run your finger on top you
56. 2:46don't want to be picking on the T so if
57. 2:49you are somewhere like here you want to
58. 2:52lower it a little
59. 2:54bit if you do end up posting Style with
60. 2:58the tint
61. 3:01showing uh past the edge you can use a
62. 3:04utility knife run back to knife just run
63. 3:07it to the edge to trim it pretty easy
64. 3:11but if you position it properly now you
65. 3:14generally don't need this because as you
66. 3:17can
67. 3:17see we cut
68. 3:19this in the right
69. 3:22shape okay now all that is left is to
70. 3:25remove this water I will spray the tint
71. 3:27on top so that more
72. 3:31slippery and I will
73. 3:34start here in the
74. 3:51middle okay now that initial part of the
75. 3:54squeeing is done I'll continue first
76. 3:57with the felt uh side of the plastic IGI
77. 4:00to take out more
78. 4:12water and then I don't know if that's
79. 4:14visible on the video but I get some
80. 4:17fingers fingers are where when the the
81. 4:20film dips up a little bit in like a thin
82. 4:25long line kind of like a finger and I'm
83. 4:29getting a few of this here that's quite
84. 4:30normal this is because of the curvature
85. 4:32of the film so now I'll use the plastic
86. 4:35part of the squeegee to push them and I
87. 4:39might keep getting them for a little bit
88. 4:41while the film is um drying uh you have
89. 4:44a few options here if you want to take
90. 4:46care of this right away uh just grab a
91. 4:49heat gun or a hair dryer warm it up a
92. 4:51little bit and that will do it um or uh
93. 4:56what I prefer to do I think it's uh
94. 4:58generally safer and
95. 5:01easier is that I'll just move on to the
96. 5:03other side and when I'm done with the
97. 5:05other I'll come back to this and I'll
98. 5:07push them uh this will give it a little
99. 5:10time to dry up and drain the water uh so
100. 5:12that fum can properly stick here but as
101. 5:16you can see going with a plastic part of
102. 5:19the squeegee repeatedly and applying a
103. 5:23decent amount of pressure here uh it
104. 5:26takes care of them I I started with
105. 5:28three I think
106. 5:30and actually right now I'm down to okay
107. 5:32down to one
108. 5:35so just push it it will eventually stick
109. 5:40even on these
110. 5:42curves but again if you want to expedite
111. 5:45this and don't want to wait uh you can
112. 5:48just use a key gun or a hair dryer it do
113. 5:50just fine and that's pretty much it the
114. 5:54rear windows are the same uh the the big
115. 5:58the the door one uh is literally the
116. 6:00same uh installation technique and the
117. 6:03small quter panel just spray the film
118. 6:06spray the the window apply with and
119. 6:10you're done and uh I think yeah all the
120. 6:14fingers are
121. 6:16gone yeah that's pretty much it and this
122. 6:19is a very easy and great way to save
123. 6:22hundreds of
124. 6:23dollars uh from going to the shop you
125. 6:26can just do it yourself at home and
126. 6:29again if a finger pops up just push it
127. 6:33keep checking the installation for like
128. 6:35an hour um after the installation so
129. 6:39that if there are any issues like this
130. 6:41like the fingers you can just push it at
131. 6:43some point as I said it will stick it
132. 6:45just needs to be dryer it also depends
133. 6:47on the weather by the way right now it's
134. 6:49really cold it's winter time here um and
135. 6:53cold weather makes this more difficult
136. 6:54but even in in winter time you can see
137. 6:57it didn't take that much effort do this
138. 7:00and in summer it's going to be a lot
139. 7:02[Music]
140. 7:06easier when you're done just wipe your
141. 7:09surfaces so that they're clean as you
142. 7:11can see it's back to normal and don't
143. 7:15forget press the door open
144. 7:17button to lower back your window before
145. 7:20you can safe close the door thanks for
146. 7:23watching
