In this segment of the video, the speaker demonstrates a technique called reverse rolling when tinting a short window with obstacles like a dashboard in the way. The process involves squeegeeing the outside of the window, peeling the release liner in quarters, spraying, and gently placing the liner on top of the film to protect it. Then, they roll the film on both sides before tackling the inside by unrolling and tucking the film past the obstacles like the gauge cluster. The importance of taking your time to avoid introducing dirt is highlighted. Finally, the speaker squeegees out air pockets and ensures complete coverage.

In this segment of the video, the key points include the importance of pushing out the window tint in a circular pattern to avoid air pockets and ensure an even application. Using water to lubricate the surface is crucial to keep the film released from the glass, which has a pressure-sensitive adhesive. The focus is on working with precision and using specific tools like a squeegee and bulldozer for tight spots. The final result shows a clean application of five percent tint around the windows and 35 percent on the windshield, providing a visually appealing finish.
