Tucking
Tucking is the technique of sliding the film edge behind the rubber window seals or door trims to achieve an edge-to-edge installation without visible film boundaries.
Tucking is what makes a tint job look factory. The installer loosens the seal, gently slides the film edge into the channel, and resets the seal over the film.
Some seals tuck easily; others (particularly on European cars with intricate trim) require disassembly to do properly. A workshop that takes shortcuts leaves the film outside the seal, which looks worse and weathers worse.
For premium fitments we tuck every panel. The extra time is part of the standard process, not an upsell.
