You need to do it in more than one section.

Lay it on the outside first, with plenty of water, to cut it the right size, then apply on the inside with plenty of water, and squeegee off

As above, you need to do it in 2 or 3 secions on most rear windows, some people like to overlap each piece by around 1-2mm to ensure there is no area not covered

agreed, 3 pieces, cut as above on outside, make sure you got the film right way round lol, then 3 pieces, try to over lap a tad, then you can cut along the overlap and pull out the underside bit leaving a perfect cut finish, when i done mine i done it in 3 sections but cut along the lines of the rear window heater
