you cant dude, if your window is making a heart shape wrinkle that means she is falling inlove with you. To get rid of it you have to dump the car now.

Pressure from applying plastx did not cause it. Follow what silentdancer has to say. Some people buy tubes from muz ( http://www.prestigeautoaccessories.com/sto...21416e585ce6898 ) to ensure that the plastic window folds down correctly.

If there are already creases in it that will not go away, as a last resort: get some boiling water and SLOWLY pour it over the plastic window. Make sure not to get any on your paint. This will cause your plastic window to curl, and in 10 minutes or so it will be flat and good as new. Again, be careful with this.

Hope this helps.

for the boiling water. would the top have to be half way or when the top is fully secured.

what would happen if the water goes too fast? does it have to be boiling or just HOT?

when the top is fully secured. if you do it too fast, you risk getting it on your paint and that is not what we want.
