Installing the Aqua Shield

Before installing the Aqua Shield, it’s essential to clean your windshield thoroughly. Any dirt or debris can affect the overall performance of the shield and reduce the clarity of your dash cam videos. After cleaning the windshield, you can proceed with either the wet or dry installation method.

The Dry Installation Method

The dry installation method involves attaching the Aqua Shield directly to the clean area of the windshield. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Start by peeling off the protective layer from the shield, making sure not to touch the film.

2. Align the shield to the area of the windshield where you want to install it. It’s recommended to use a vinyl scraper to remove any air bubbles between the shield and the windshield.

3. Use a sharp blade or scissors to cut out the excess area of the shield, making sure it fits perfectly.

4. Firmly press the shield to the windshield, ensuring that there are no air bubbles between the shield and the windshield.

The Wet Installation Method

The wet installation method is a more precise installation method and involves spraying either soap water or an alcohol solution on the windshield. To install the Aqua Shield using the wet installation method, follow these steps:

1. Create a soap water or alcohol solution by mixing water with a small amount of detergent or isopropyl alcohol.

2. Spray the solution onto the windshield and remove any air bubbles using a vinyl scraper.

3. Remove the protective layer from the Aqua Shield and align it with the area of the windshield where you want to install it.

4. Use a sharp blade or scissors to cut out the excess area of the shield.

5. Firmly press the shield to the windshield, removing any air bubbles or creases.

Customizing the Aqua Shield

One of the best things about the Aqua Shield is its ability to be cut and molded to fit your needs perfectly. By customizing the shield, you can ensure that it eliminates glare and reflections from exactly where you need it. Here’s what you can do:

1. Use a sharp blade or scissors to cut the shield to your desired size and shape.

2. Apply heat from a hairdryer or heat gun to the edges of the shield to mold it to the contours of your windshield.

3. Test the shield by driving in different lighting conditions and adjust it as necessary to ensure maximum glare reduction and clarity.
