How to Tint a Tesla Model 3 Rear Window | Full Tutorial

In this video, the Texas Squeegee takes us on a full step by step tutorial on how to tint a Tesla Model 3 rear window & back glass.

Dry Shrink Prep Method:
•The first method used to prep the glass is a "dry shrink" method.
In this video, dry shrinking is prepared by coating the Tesla Model 3 glass with a soap wrapped in a microfiber rag. This allows the film to move freely and float over the glass during the shrinking phase.

Pull Shrink Method:
•The pull shrink method is a style of heat shrinking where the installer controls the way a film shrinks by pulling the edge of the film and guiding the shrink. It is one of the most effective and quickest ways to heat shrink a Tesla Model 3 rear glass.

Cutting/Trim Phase:
•Always use a new olfa blade when cutting on the glass of a Tesla Model 3. Tesla glass is very sensitive to scratches so the blade has to be sharp in order to cut through the film with little ease and minimal pressure. There is plenty of space in side the glass, so allow yourself some extra film to work with. Be sure to cut precisely on the defrosters cut outs as this will help you position the tint once it is inside the Tesla Model 3 glass.

Revers Roll Phase:
Okay, this will be a little difficult to understand through text. However, here goes: Reverse rolling a tint involves installing window tint on a big glass through the use of unrolling the tint on it. What you do is have the film on a glass with the liner facing the you (the installer). Pull half the liner back and spray the adhesive side of the tint. Now place the liner back on the film—there now is water between the liner and film. Repeat the process for the other half of the tint. Now you will roll in the OPPOSITE direction of how you plan to unroll once you are inside installing the tint. Roll with the liner on the inside of the roll. When you unroll the tint, peel the liner and let it stick on the roll. As you unroll the tint, the liner will now be on the back side of the tint. This method is shown on the video so pay close attention. It is much better understood as a visual.

Inside Glass Prep:
Using a 50/50 mix of water & alcohol, spray the glass and let the solution sit for about 30 seconds to a minute. This will break down dirt, debris, & oils from the glass. Use a scrubber to thoroughly clean the rear glass. Squeegee thoroughly 2 times. Spray the glass with enough water to allow the film to slide around while you are positioning the tint around the edges.

Installing The Film:
Unroll half the film on the dash, wedging it towards the bottom to prevent excessive dragging of the film. In some cases, excessive dragging can create adhesive marks that are not removable once they are marked. Once you have half the film unrolled on the dash, frankenstein it up to the glass. The Frankenstein method is a method used by tinters to lay film on a glass with both arms extended forward. Use the tool called The Reach to help you reach the center of the glass. Unroll the rest of the film towards the top. Squeegee 3-4 passes, each one getting firmer & firmer.
