Instructions

  1. Measure and cut the film:

    • Measure the window to determine the size of film needed.
    • Cut the film to the size of the window, leaving an extra inch on all sides.

  2. Clean the window:

    • Clean the window thoroughly with a lint-free cloth to remove any dust, dirt, or grime.
    • Ensure the window is completely dry before proceeding.

  3. Prepare the slip solution:

    • In a spray bottle, mix together water and a few drops of soap to create a slip solution.

  4. Wet the window:

    • Spray the window with the slip solution, ensuring that it is completely covered.

  5. Apply the film:

    • Carefully remove the backing from the bird strike window film.
    • Place it on the wet window.
    • Use the squeegee to smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles, starting from the center and working outwards.

  6. Trim the excess film:

    • Use a razor blade or utility knife to trim any excess film from the edges of the window.
    • Be careful not to cut into the window frame or sealant.

  7. Squeegee again:

    • Once the film is in place, use the squeegee again to remove any remaining bubbles or slip solution from under the film.
    • Wipe away any excess slip solution with a clean, lint-free cloth.

  8. Allow to dry:

    • Allow the film to dry completely before touching or cleaning the window.
    • Drying time may vary depending on temperature and humidity levels.

  9. Enjoy your newly protected window!
