What happens here

With the film tacked mid-way, proceed to tape down the vertical side edges of the masking film. Use your free hand to pull the film taut and smooth against the window frame. Apply a continuous strip of 1-inch (2.5 cm) 3M 2020 masking tape from the top corner down to the bottom on both sides. Ensure the tape overlaps the edge of the masking film and creates a straight, secure line against the window frame. Repeat this process for the other side.

Goal: Secure the side edges of the masking film to the window frame.

What they say

Hide

Tack it halfway down. Do the same thing to the other side. Tack it again. One more time. Almost close to the bottom. Not quite to the bottom. Then we just roll the masking film up underneath. And we'll tack that the bottom.
