Says not to apply to etched windows... If the inside surface is not etched, can it be applied to it? Not sure why it shouldn't be applie to etched?

If you are applying it to the inside surface which is not etched, I don't see why you couldn't use it. But on an etched surface,it will not stay as well, and you will see where it doesn't lie close to the glass.

The only thing I can think of is that it won't adhere properly unless the surface is smooth and it would be impossible to remove any air bubbles. I see no reason why it wouldn't work if the inside surface is not etched.

I used this on regular glass doors and I would speculate that it would not adhere properly to etched glass, ie., you could get a lot of air pockets and bubbles and not be happy with the outcome vs. smooth glass where it achieves uniform adhesion.

I've just talked to my neighbor, they did their windows after they saw mine. They made the mistake of putting up the portion that is meant to be discarded. Be sure to read instruction carefully. I think that is why people have failure to cling to windows.

My experience was indoor use. I used it to cover some gaps around an older window frame.This product appears to be nothing more than clear packing tap. I applied it in the fall and when I removed it in the spring, it took off most of the paint around the window frame. Not what I thought was going to happen.

Acid etching would be far better for putting VINs on windows. They sell kits with the chemicals and a way to make stencils.

I don't see any reason why it should not, the adhesive quality of the laminate is very high, however, me personally I would not apply it to windows where direct sunlight and heat in the summer time may present a problem and degrade the product.

YOU removed window tint plastic from glass?? I believe this is what you are saying. If so, I would use GooGone to remove the residue and then use Invisible Glass to shine the glass.

No it doesn't leave any marks. Its fairly easy to peel off and it left no permanent marks after window was cleaned.

Well I can imagine this could damage the seal to the window if left in place 24/7. You basically have to ram those lower two "sticks" (for lack of better terminology to call them) into the lower portion of your window - between the window and that little flexible piece that rests against the window. So it does push that back a little. And then there is that top part. When you roll the window all the way up, obviously that is going to make an impression in the seal. My advise would be to only have it "installed" if you are actively using it. When it is not needed, just take it out so the impressions in the seals don't become permanantly warped or damaged.

I have mine Inside with my window hold it in place. So it all depends on how your windows are built, not all windows are the same.

DO NOT APPLY ON A HOT WINDOW....First clean the window completely with window cleaner NOT the solution. Then spray the window with the solution, use lots it will dry up. Then slowly apply the window film from top down (it helps to have someone hold the film off the window as you apply it) Then use the squeege to push the bubbles to the side and down to the bottom.

If you want to apply it to the glass it would have to. You could apply it to the would, but It would probably still slide around. If you're asking because you think you might see the glue, I don't think you'd notice it much. However, my husband used it on the bottom of a board game he made so it wouldn't slide around the table, so we didn't use it on glass.

It comes with an adhesive pad which would probably work on a window pane. It seems like it is removable but I couldn't guarantee it would not leave a mark. I was able to attach it to a wall next to the window and it worked fine.

Nope. It doesn't do a thing to the windows. Mine have been in place for a couple of years, but I can still reposition the leading if I need to with no issues. I'd avoid repositioning however, only because it loses a bit of its adhesion. But the windows will be fine.

Hi, not sure.....it may react with finish. I used it on a window that had stickers on it before.

This does not have an adhesive side for directly applying to windows - the most common method is to stretch it over some sort of frame and mount the whole assembly. Thanks!

I installed it on the back of a public art piece (panel) using epoxy making it permanent so I can't really answer that. If I were to install it on a window so that it is permanent here is what I would do: I would clean the window with some alcohol to remove any oils/grease, etc. Then I would cut some double-sided tape (the thin foam stuff) to cover the back of the unit and place it on the window. Since the tape is very sticky and flexible and provides some insulation too the air moisture in the air shouldn't be able to get to the tape and I believe very little moisture would be attracted to the device. I think this would hold fairly permanently. It works well. It resets itself after a time... I think I recall about 3 minutes. Already, my public art mural (on Caroline St. in Fredericksburg, VA) has undergone another theft attempt and I had the painting anchored to the fence it it attached with a steel cable and spring-loaded attachment point. But it was these units that scared off the culprit!! I had two installed -- one on the top of the back of the painting and inside a piece of epoxied PVC grating to thwart damage. The one at the bottom have powered by 4 DD batteries (wired in parallel with internal battery) to provide a couple of years of service I suspect. This is a very low battery consumption device. Very sensitive... dangle a set of car keys against the window to test.

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.
