Have you ever done it before? If not buy enough tint to do it twice, maybe three times. Cut the film on the outside window, heat it up, than apply it to the inside, make your trims and squeegee the water out.

i recommend not using a credit card to get the water out, it will probably scratch the tint.

i know from experience

Actually a credit card works good, but you need to use Scotch tape to cover the edges.
