Yeah I have the same problem, the guy that did it said that is normal and he too also said you can install black vinyl to the top of the window or just paint it black. I just left it alone. Im used to it now.

Its elmers blue glue. If they use the glue when doing it, it will come out like that.

Most shops dont give a **** about you and just want your money so they wont do it. Got to ask around.

mine looks like **** too but I talked to another place and they told me they use glue for the dot matrix.
