I ordered the 3M kit from Amazon in the US, and have installed it on several windows.

Thanks for sharing this James, much appreciated; do call the installer whose name and number I gave you as he may have found a substitute because it was his livelihood . . .

I emailed 3M, and got back this terse response:

Very disappointing! Might try to get Amazon to ship it to me…

I’d seen this on TV, but lost track of the details.

The only problem: the 3M site you link to is the US one (which doesn’t ship to Australia). And 3M’s Australian website doesn’t list the product at all. Very frustrating!

Any ideas on where to source this product in Australia?
