Yea I'm just gonna have to deal I guess. Maybe I'll mess with it a little bit and even it out so it doesn't look so weird.

i went to a place in Nanuet, NY. for my tint and they use this certain glue for the dot matrix and i have to say it worked almost perfectly. i got one tiny little bubble and overall they did one great job.

Yea I see that all the time happen. The tint doesnt stick to the dot matrix, thats why they cut the tint at the dot matrix and use vinyl. If they knew what they were doin, they shouldnt of done that.

The only quality complaint is that on top of the rear window it seems like the tint isn't "sticking" because of the dot pattern up there. Also it's kinda shady around the defroster strip things. The pic is below, looks kinda crappy. It's also been crazy cold here so I dunno if that has something to do with it too or not.

The other issue is that even though I like the 20% tint, I'm just not completely happy with it. It's lighter than I wanted and I'm seriously considering going back and changing it. But the only other tint the place had was 5% and that's too dark. So I'm not sure what to do. I was thinking about putting another layer of 20% on, but I'm not sure if that's doable or how dark that would make it (maybe 10%-15%??). So if any of you have advice/experience with this let me know your thoughts

Here's the back I was talking about earlier btw...

I got my tint replaced for that. The more I looked at it the more it was bugging me. The company that removed and replaced the tint did a flawless job. No air pockets or scratches anywere in the tint. They were an A-1 operation. Not cheap but what do you expect for perfection.
