My RX-65 install, a little slick

[focalcivic]

Thanks, I just bought two of the shades today.

I checked my Walmart and could not find it. I was in the auto section near the window tint? Are they in another spot?

Yes, it was right next to the tint and solar folding shades. It was $3 a box plus tax. The manufacturer is Axius, comes in a blue box with a pic of a child on the front of it with the name side shade sun spot. Dimensions of the shade are 12 X 16 inches. I don't know if you saw my other post, but I had a very hard time removing the trapped air bubbles. I removed the large ones, but the smaller ones remained, so I removed the shade from my car. I could not stand the small air bubbles when viewing the car from the outside. Check out the pics posted in this thread, you can see what I am talking about.

Its sold rolled up in a 10" long but small tube-like box. I initially overlooked it too. Come to think of it, the two that I bought are still in my car's trunk -- and its been over a week since I bought them! Just imagine how I am with groceries.

Mem-tek, do you have any ideas on how to remove the air bubbles from the sun shade application or install in better?

Are the air bubbles annoying from the inside?

I would try what you had orig posted before.

Clean the window first. Spray the area with a water bottle of water and maybe a tiny amount of dish soap mixed in. The apply film and use a flat plastic card and smooth and see how that goes.

^^ Yep.

No air bubbles are visible from the inside. On the outside, it looks like 6th pic posted in this thread.

If I cannot get every air bubble out, I am not going to leave the static shades up, it just looks not clean.

Yeah it looks tacky with those air bubbles. Try cleaning your windshield with rubbing alcohol and/or very fine steel wool. The least little bit of dirt or dust will cause those bubbles with tint too.

First, hopefully this material is flat and doesn't have an uneven surface due to the dots, otherwise it will be a pain to try and put up if not impossible. The water and soap is OK, also use a plastic straight edge / squeegee when "slowly unrolling" and applying the film. If you still get "some" air bubbles and can’t work them out to the sides with your hand just use a razor blade to put a small slit in the film and then press the opening closed against the windshield. That would probably work with a static type material. Best to have a steady hand with the blade. Anywho, that was now we did it on large stripe packages on cars and trucks at the port of entry in Jax, FL., although they did have an adhesive backing on the kits.

try using a credit card or small squeegee to remove the air bubbles.
