I guess hanging the car upside down does make installation easier.

I actually snooped around on the net, seems like very cool stuff-I am willing to believe, LOL. The problem is there is nobody around me to put it on my car, the closest outlet is over hundred miles away, most likely guaranteed chips right there. I wanna replace my windshield and put this stuff over it but apparently cannot do it where I live

One question, did you take off the pillar trim to tuck the film under it?

nothing was removed its all the way to the edges except for 1/8 of an inch. I watched the whole process and it seemed pretty easy for him. I believe in never having to replace the original windshield from the first factory install. I absolutely believe the integrity of the original windshield can never be duplicated.
