Dont even bother attempting to do it yourself, pay the professionals to do it properly IMHO.

It's never too late to avoid fookin it up

You can get the whole car done for about £200 !

If you really really want to try it -
1/ cut the film to the approximate shape but over size
2/get a spray bottle like they sell at garden centres
3/get a squeegy thing
4/fill it with soapy water
5/make sure the window is perfectly clean
6/spray the window with soapy water
7/apply the film slowly
8/squeegy out all the bubbles
9/go over the whole window again (multiple times) from the centre out
10/trim to right size
11/leave it to dry
12/stand back and admire all the bubbles that are somehow still there

Save yourself all the time & effort - give up now and get someone who knows what they're doing to do it - it will only cost extra to remove the crap job you've already done.

I suggest you try it out with a spare bit of film on a flat easy window first before you attempt a rear window
