For those of you that have used the clear film, the kits usually come with double sided clear tape that the film fastens on. Where do you put the tape. Will it stick to the metal frames? Does it pull the paint off the frames when you remove it when warm weather comes? I have thought of that, but do not want to put the tape outside the windows on the wall and didn't know if it left a mess on the frames.
Make sure you buy the stuff made by 3M and you should be OK. It needs a smooth surface to stick to so the metal frame would be the best. Use a hair dryer only enough to pull any wrinkles out, but not so much to pull the tape away. When you do remove the tape pull it off at a doward 90 degree angle (making a 45 degree overlap at the point of contact), this will lessen the chance of pulling the finish surface off.
I've had bad luck with the cheaper stuff, 3M has always worked well.
