What happens here

After the top edge is secured, gently pull the masking film down about halfway across the window. Use short pieces of 1-inch (2.5 cm) 3M 2020 masking tape to temporarily tack the film to the window frame on both the left and right sides. This prevents the film from flapping in the wind or shifting, making it easier to work with. If the film extends too far, gently pull it back to ensure the tape adheres cleanly to the window frame.

Goal: Stabilize the masking film for easier handling.

What they say

Hide

my masking film down about halfway or so. And then I actually tack it on the window about about midway down the window. So you want to just tack it on both sides. And then I take run my use my hand to pull it back to make sure the w it's going to get tape on the window the whole way down. So if the film sticks over a little bit farther, I just pull it back. Tack it halfway down. Do the same thing to the other side.
