I used to get fix-it tickets all the time in the past from having my front windows tinted. I quickly learned from the tint shops how to remove and apply tint. If the Stoneguard stuff is the same then here's how I would do it...

1. Mix in a spray bottle 3-4 pea-sized drops of Palmolive dishwashing detergent with about 16 ounces of water. The detergent acts as a lubricant and keeps the water from evaporating too quickly.

2. Clean window thoroughly.

3. Spray film with detergent/water mix.

4. Spray window with detergent/water mix.

5. Use a Bondo spreader as a squeegee. Work from the center out and you should be able to get rid of all the bubbles.

6. Let it sit in the sun so the detergent/water under the film can evaporate.

If there's a water-activated adhesive on the Stoneguard film like it is on tint, then I'm guessing it's shot since you've already tried applying it once.

About the overheating issue...
I highly doubt it. Otherwise it would be happening to all of the Stoneguard lens covers. Porsche halogens don't get any hotter than other makes and if you have Litronics I believe the HID's run a bit cooler.
