What happens here

Position the hand masker tool at the top left corner of the window. Ensure the masking film is attached approximately a quarter of an inch (0.25 inches) from the edge of the window frame, overlapping slightly onto the frame itself. Draw the hand masker all the way across the top of the window, maintaining this quarter-inch overlap. Once you reach the top right corner, again ensure the film is about a quarter of an inch from the edge. Hold the film and tape firmly in place, then snap the hand masker to cleanly cut the tape and film.

Goal: Securely attach the masking film and tape along the top edge of the window frame.
