Windows tint



hello,

I just got my windows tinted by a highly recommended shop.
when I got my car back after 3 hours of waiting, the installer told me the rear windows were an issue.
One of them was not straight, the other one doesn’t go all the way to the bottom. He said the reason being is because “the rubber” sealant is higher towards the edge of the window.
There was also a chip on the rear window that left a small bubble.
I am looking for advice regarding the rubber sealant. Is this an acceptable excuse?
I believe that for a 230 dollar job there shouldn’t be any excuses to not properly align the tint.

Regards,

the company that tinted my coupes windows - removes the door panels to do the job correctly. no issues here and they even did my complete front windshield (the hardest of all).

Sounds like you have the wrong tint shop. I've had my coupe and several sedans tinted with no problems at all. Certainly no excuse for bubbles. That is unacceptable! Try another shop.

I definitely would not try another shop. I would straighten this out with the installer first! Get him to redo the area.

It looks like they didn't account for the additional distance the window travels when the door closes but either way they should redo that.
