Seeing as they are pre cut that helps a lot as it has taken most of the work out of the job, best thing is to give all windows a thorough clean before and keep the window extremely wet when applying by using a water spray bottle and then squeegee the water out from beneath the film.
It can be hard sometimes especially on tailgate but the windows on lingo are pretty flat so that helps as well, tiny air bubbles can be pricked with a pin or scalpel and pushed out.
One thing to remember is the front windows are already tinted so you cant install any window film to them as it would be illegal (just if you was thinking of doing them)

Not used that actual product, but did buy some off ebay. You get what you pay for.
I had a total nightmare doing the rear screen. It is NOT flat and a lot harder to do than it looks. I couldn't seem to get rid of 'fingers' around the edges no matter what.
I ended up getting a pro to do it for £50 as I was just wasting money trying to save money.
The side windows are easy to do as you can take them all out and do them in a good work area.
Tailgate.....nightmare.

Thanks for your advice and helpfulness. I am going to have a crack at it at some point and see how we get on.
As long as i can keep things spotlessly clean and take my time think I will be ok.
And as has been metioned i can at least take 2 windows off to do them cant I.
