tinting problem

i got my windows tinted and they all look great but its been about a month now and its bubbled up and actually started to come off in one corner of my back window on the top dots. the rest of the window is great but those ******* dots. Now the guy that tinted warned me that it might happen cuz it wont seal to the dots but my question is how should i solve this problem. I thought about cutting it off of the part with the dots and doing like a black vinyl over it on either the outside or the inside. Any other solutions?

The Dot Matrix is actually impossible to completly cover up unless you use vinyl. But tint will still stick aroundthe dot matrix with no problem. Sounds like you should have gone to someone who knew how to tint to begin with. My tint has only 2 tiny bubbles that will be coming out in 3 weeks.

Take the tint off and sand the Dot Matrix off the window. You do not need it.

guy i went to used some type of "tint in a can" (not nightshades though...)
to cover the dot matrix so that that entire area looks exactly like the solid black bordering the rest of the window.

turned out excellent and i dont have to worry about 3 inches of dots that my tint will peel off.
