Rule #1 - Don't Peel and Stick Window Tint

As far as window tints go, do not try a stunt like this at home. I repeat, do not.

Seriously. I once drove a little car around wherein the previous owner (as sweet and thorough and kind as they were) did an amateur job on their car windows; although I'm certain it looked halfway decent for the first part of the automobile's life, by the time it was passed off to us--the new owners--the back window was bubbling and slightly peeling in the corners.

It was a situation that only got worse as the car aged and deteriorated in value. And it would've been a real mess if I had tried to peel the entire thing away from every window. I would've needed a team of detailers to come in and save me from what I once believed was a fairly good idea.

But if you get it done professionally, then no worries. You have that work guarantee for the life of the vehicle and it's done right. And your resell value will be much higher in the end. I think that adds blue book value instead of detracting from it.
