Is this film adhesive backed? Someone mentioned using plenty of water. ??

I is the same you install sun tint on a car. It comes with instructions. You put water with a few drops of soap in a bottle and spray the window. The film is thicker than sun tint. It slides on the glass. After you work out the air bubbles it will then dry and the film will stick to the glass.

I am no expert on this, but I believe you would apply the film to the inside part of the windows. I know that's were mine went. I have heard of people installing the film on the outside, but it would seem to have a shorter life time due to the elements. Craig

It's self-adhesive, no water needed, but I used water to allow for some re-adjusting time. I used a rigid squeegee I had left from a tint job I did, to remove the air bubbles. I applied it in one big piece, and trimmed it on the glass with a razor blade. It takes a bit of concentration but it wasn't hard.

I have had the same problem with the adhesive weakening over time, particularly with temperature fluctuations. I ended up using a double-stick foam tape (3M) , for longer-term results.

You should install the film on the inside. Make sure you use plenty of water when you install the film. If you don't, it will be difficult to get all the bubbles out.

Hi Jane, This is a lovely window film. I've had mine for over a year. And it's still in perfect condition. You asked about wetness. I've had no experience with subjecting this window film to water. You mentioned bubbles. When applying this film, you have to be ABSOLUTELY SURE that it is FLAT up against the window - and THAT is really hard to do. But if you can have someone help you, it would greatly insure a flat fit against the window. If you do all that, I'm fairly certain that the window film will pan out very nicely. It's definitely worth the effort. Annette

Totally weird, sounds like you've done all the right things...tried a razor blade yet? Sounds like it is impregnated into the glass, the way auto windshields have an 8 inch runner of tint across the top. I still don't think the adhesive remover has any value...have you tried goof off or OOPs? Since I can't picture it, I guess if it didn't look to weird you could put the film right over the top & hope it doesn't look bizarre. Sorry that's all I got

No adhesive needed. Just use the provided tool to keep the air bubbles out while you apply the film.

Roger, yes it's true. A super adhesive by 3M. Extreme care when applying as once on, it's basically there. Great product. John

It is not self adhesive.Try something else if that is what you want. It is just wrap with no stick. Best of luck.

When I put mine on I was told that the sticky side goes towards the phone (LCD). Make sure that the old glue or adhesive is completely gone before applying the new screen. As far as the plastic film I dont remember exactly but I would say after it is applied so you dont scratch it.

It already has adhesive on one side. Just be sure you smooth as you go to make sure you keep out any air pockets. It went on really well for me. I peeled the backing off as I went and used a hard plastic smoother to keep out any air bubbles. It actually looks pretty great too.

there is an adhesive, but i haven't had it on long enough to answer definitely if it leaves a residue. they say not. i did have occasion to pop it back off when i first installed it and there was no detectable residue when i polished the screen with lens paper. i'm very happy with it overall. be very careful to align it properly at first contact. though it's very easy to remove and redo, i left a trace of fingerprint on one of the edges during my redo. nothing fatal and does not obscure the image at all, but it's there.

This answer is way overdue...if the window you install it on gets wet the film may not adhere properly. But given that I haven't tested it you never know it might stick. I is very attractive and definitely would mask the water marks.

Yes, it had self adhesive on the back, just peel off the thin paper and apply. it's gave off in between daylight and little golden. Hope these will help.

Well the specs do call for water sealing, however, I find teflon tape is a better way to go unless the threads have been cross threaded. Good luck.

Yes, when you pull the film off, that side is sticky too. Putting the new screen glass on is not too different from applying a screen protector, except of course the glass isn't flexible.
