Expert Window Tint Installation

At American Wrap Co., we take pride in our meticulous and precise approach to automotive window tinting, ensuring that every vehicle we service receives the highest quality treatment. Here’s a glimpse into our specialized installation process:

1. Preparation – Our process begins with a thorough cleaning of all glass surfaces to be tinted, effectively removing any dust or debris to ensure a pristine working area.

2. Interior Protection – We take extra care to protect your car’s interior. This includes taping off sensitive areas like the headliner and window tracks, and covering panels and touchscreens with microfiber shields to safeguard against moisture and debris during the tint application.

3. Precision Cutting and Shaping – Leveraging XPEL’s DAP software, we plot most of our tint installations for an exact fit, eliminating the risk associated with traditional methods of cutting on the glass.

4. Expert Installation – The film is meticulously shrunk on the exterior of the glass and then installed on the interior, ensuring a perfect, bubble-free application.

5. Aftercare Advice – Post-installation, we advise keeping the windows rolled up for a few days to allow the tint to properly adhere and set.

Frequently Asked Questions

HOW ARE CAR WINDOW TINTS INSTALLED?

The film is applied to the inside of your car window. Our installation process begins by thoroughly cleaning the glass to remove dust, smudges, and dirt. We’ll then lay the film on the outside of the car’s window and cut out a piece of tint. The film is then trimmed to precisely fit your car’s unique shape. Our specialists will then remove the release liner and apply an application solution to the film’s adhesive, as well as to your window. The film is then placed on the inside of the window.
