I purchased two rolls, primarily to reduce the temperature while driving (Hawaii). One roll was enough to cover the front windows of a CRV, the second 5 windows of a Miata. The 35% was perfect - noticeably cooler, light enough where visibility isn't reduced at night. Installing it was a bit tricker though.
After watching YouTube videos, I installed it using a mixture of water and baby soap. Steps:
1. Clean the interior and exterior windows.
2. Squeegee the windows clean, wipe with a micro fiber cloth.
3. Place the tint on the exterior window and cut to size.
4. Remove the sticky adhesive from the tint.
5. Apply plenty of water + baby soap to the interior window.
6. Remove the tint from the exterior window and slide it into the interior window.
7. Squeegee the air bubbles.
I should have removed the door, I think over time, the tint may lift off the window after repeated rolling up / down (hasn't after a month though). Also, spray plenty of liquid. The tint is hard to move without it and air bubbles may form. My first window had a few, subsequent ones didn't.
Knocked one star off because the package was bent, as well as the tint. I had a little extra so didn't use the worst creased areas.
