SCHEMATIC REPRESENTATION

CLEANING THE PANES FROM THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE

• Before you start installing our automotive window films, mix the following in a water spray bottle 1 FMO installation concentrate 15ml with 500 ml of water. Alternatively, you can also use washing-up liquid, but we do not recommend this as it could cause the window film adhesive to turn white.

• Roughen the grid edge of the window with a stainless steel pad to improve the adhesion of the car window film.

• Then clean all windows, frames and rubber seals with a microfiber cloth.

• The best way to remove stubborn residue or dirt from the windshield is with a razor blade or a scraper for ceramic hobs.

• Then remove the cleaned panes with a mounting squeegee that has been wrapped in a household towel beforehand. It is best to dry the window rubbers and window edges with a lint-free, clean cotton cloth (tea towel)

• Spray the film again with the installation liquid and then push the liquid away from the center to the sides with the flat of your hand. Now squeegee out the remaining liquid upwards and downwards.

Check the accuracy of fit!

Vehicles with third brake light and/or hinged side windows:

• Use a water-soluble fiber pen to mark the cut-outs to be made on the film.

• Spray the outside of the window on which you are starting the installation with the installation fluid

• Pick up the car window film. The transparent protective film must always face you. To check, carefully remove the protective film from one corner of the film to be sure. Stretch the film between your hands and place it on the damp outside of the windshield.

(Do not remove the transparent protective film yet!)

 

  

ATTENTION!

1. Window antennas (cell phones, radio, etc.) can be damaged when using metallized window film Window film for the car and therefore have a limited function.

2. When removing the car window film, please note that existing heating or antenna wires on the inside of the vehicle windows can be damaged by jerky tearing. This can be avoided by heating the film during removal.

Avoid scratches and do not cut the car window film directly on the windshield!

• Make sure that the car window film adheres to the outside of the windshield.

• Immediately after removing the protective film, spray the now exposed adhesive side of the film evenly with the installation fluid.

This side of the car window film is applied to the inside of the window!

• Slowly peel off the transparent protective film completely. Spray the adhesive layer with the mounting fluid while removing the protective film to prevent it from sticking together and forming creases.

Never touch the adhesive layer, as fingerprints will be visible after installation!

INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD: INSTALLATION OF THE CAR WINDOW FILM

• Now spray the inside of the window several times with the installation fluid.
• Hold the moistened car window film by the two upper corners and remove it from the outside of the window. Hold the corners slightly taut so that the film does not stick together.

• Now squeegee out all the liquid from the center of the window to the top and bottom. This area is thermoformed. Keep the contact pressure as even as possible. Squeegee until the liquid has been completely removed and the car window film is free of bubbles and creases.

• If wrinkles still form, these can be removed using a hair dryer . As the film can easily burn, please only work with the lowest heat setting and from a sufficient distance.

• The squeegeed-out liquid collects on the lower window seal, which you can remove with the squeegee (wrap with a cotton cloth beforehand).

• Then dry this area with a hair dryer on the lowest heat setting.
