getting it redone is your best bet bro, you'll eventually have to do it once it peels off all the way

Get it redone... You can't get it to stick again without messing something up.

When tint peels you have two options. Trim the area peeling or redo the window. It should be pretty cheap to have one window done as long as its not the back. The trick is finding a shop that can match what you have.

I would trim the piece of tint with a sharp razor, be careful not to get deep into the glass.

I had a chip on my old 350z and the tint shop had to do this around the tint in order to keep the surrounding area from bubbling up.

Peeling Tint....?

Since you didn't have the tint installed and don't have any idea where it came
from just remove it (razor blade/rag/spray bottle) and have it reinstalled. Cost
can't be too much, easy fix.

But the hard part is finding matching tint
