Just got my tint done, had a question

Just got my tint done, front windows 35% back windows and rear 5%
i was wondering if anyone else had a problem near the top of the back window where the little circles are
you can kinda see it in the pic what im saying
should i bring this back to the guy(its lifetime warranty) or will it go away?





thanks

it is normal. my buddy is a tint master lol been doing it for 19 years. its normal as the tint seeps into the groves or as u see in between the bumps. there is nothing u can do about it. most of it goes away but 70% of the time it will stay. dont worry hommie looks better then no tint.

The place that tinted mine put some black vinyl over mine on the outside. Looks 10x better than the bubbles.

thats the dot matrix. the tint has a hard time sticking to it so must of the time a tint show will cut the tint off and put a piece of black vinyl over it or leave it like that half a$$d in my opinion and then the tint starts falling off and lookin like crap.


later

i know it looks better than no tint but it wasnt cheap and there is a warranty so if it can be fixed id rather it look good
should i wait a couple days to see if i can rub it in or if it goes away and then maybe take it in?

Happened on my old eclipse and it all went down hill from there. I'd go back to the place you had it done at and have it "fixed".

Or you can just paint it. thats what my ex did and it actually turned out really good. I think he just used regular spray paint and used the gloss black. just make sure to tape up your interior

When I had my car tinte (about 6 years ago) they sanded that area down, then installed the tint. Never had something like that... but it was a PITA for the guy to do...

take it back and make them fix it and do it right with the vinyl. otherwise it is just gonna get worse and its gonna be a bigger pita for them to fix the longer u wait.

When I had mine tinted the tint stops at the base of the dots. The tinter used a tint level that matches the appearance of the dot area close so it looks normal from outside the car.

there are 3 ways to do this right...
1. sand off the dots, tint it normally
2. put vinyl on the INSIDE of the window of the dots, tint normally
3. use clear elmers glue. push tint over dots, it will stick and look normal
