Defi Heads up display film--got questions

Hey guys, i have the Defi Heads up display film. It doesn't want to mount properly after using soapy water. Any better ideas short of super glue to make it stick better? I have one of those rubber flat edge bubble removers that guys use to install 3M clear bras. Will heat from a blow-dryer help? Thanks!

it is a relatively thin material, a little thicker than your window tint.

hey, you dont need the film. I HIGHLY recommend not using that film.

it is completely unnecessary you can see it perfectly in the day and at night without it or any glare issues.

the film doesnt do much at all. just ruins your windshield and is uber tacky.

contact speedelement.com

or any vendor that sells defi

make sure you get the vsd concept! and dont forget you need a homelink and all te sensors as well.

and the only thing that sucks about it is the fact that it cannot display boost. other than that its awsome!

Actually, its blurry when I don;t have the film so that option is out. I was thinking the VSD-x but there is also a conversion kit as well. Love to hear any feedback on this.

Without the film, the two layer glass gives you two images, which is what causes the blurry look. A piece of tint film will do a fine job of keeping the reflection to one layer and clear up your viewing.
