An adhesive-backed film application tool (10) is provided for applying an adhesive-backed film ( 100 ) having at least first and second widths to a first surface ( 202 ) of a sash ( 200 ). The sash (200) further includes a second surface ( 204 ). The tool comprises ( 10 ): a directing structure ( 20 ) adapted to engage the second surface ( 204 ) of the sash ( 200 ); an application structure ( 30 ) pivotably coupled to the directing structure ( 20 ); and an element ( 40 ) for biasing the directing and application structures ( 20, 30 ) toward one another such that the directing and application structures ( 20, 30 ) are capable of being releasably clamped to the sash ( 200 ). The application structure ( 30 ) includes at least one rotatable element ( 37 a, 37 b) for applying the adhesive-backed film ( 100 ) to the first surface ( 202 ) and guide structure ( 160 ) for properly locating the adhesive-backed film relative to the rotatable element ( 37 a , 37 b) and the first surface ( 202 ). The guide structure ( 160 ) has a movable guide surface ( 172 a) capable of being located in a first position corresponding to the first width (w 1 ) of the adhesive-backed film ( 100 ) and a second position corresponding to the second width (w 2 ) of the adhesive-backed film ( 100 ).
