They are still in great shape and all you would need to do is remove and replace the old 1/4'' double sided 3M tape.
Or we could meet next time I go to Walmart in Mesquite.

They're yours if you want them, let me know. Actually, I will be in Vegas tomorrow, have to go to Nellis; if you do want them, we could meet up around noon.

Mine arrived today

You guys just stuck them on dry?
I used the wet water method on my light and gill tints.
2-3 drops dish-washing liquid in a pint of water. Spray it on. Slide the sticker where you want and squeegee from the center out.

Dry. Line up completely. Tape half down. Split the backing. Apply the first half from center outward. Remove rest of backing. Apply second half same way. 20 minute job

Shoot, I can't find a split. The instructions say start at the front/top.

No there isnt a split. You center it in the window and then tape it so that only half is held down then you peel the back off the other half and take some scissors and cut a split down the backing so that you can remove half. Then apply the half you removed the backing from. Dont crease it in the middle though. After the one side is applied you peel the back off the other side and apply

I've done that.
I'll make a short horizontal near the front to get the backing started.
I have a heat gun to help flatten it.
Thank you.

I use the wet method for most wraps, but with this one you almost have to use the dry method due to the individual strips. I peeled back about 1" of the backing along the leading edge, lined everything up and used a small squeegee to slowly work towards the rear, basically, pushing the backing off as I went. Worked great with no bubbles.

That makes sense.
Thank you, sir.
