You have to do it slowly, and I believe you will need a hair drier to heat gun to help make the material a bit flexible and pliable.

Mber,

csmeance is definitely right. I used to have the Blue Bat headlight tints. I used a hair dryer, which made the job very easy. I'm sure, with a large roof tint, it will require a lot of patience. Be sure to keep the film wet while you're applying it. Use the hair dryer and a straight edge (like a credit card) to get the edges right and to eliminate bubbles.

Ya I think I just need to go slower...I don't think I used enough soap in the water because the water kept drying up which didn't help either...I think in addition to getting a friend to help I'm gonna cut each side in half also and get the molding towards the windshield and around the moonroof seperate to the back and just get it real flush
