Hey all, just got my windows tinted (20% on my black obsidian). Looks pretty bad a**. Just curious...they said they couldn't tint the upper 3-4 inches of my rear windshield b/c of the strip of bumps at the top. Have you guys had this problem? They said tint doesn't stick there. Are your windows tinted to the top?? Thanks...

 

That is a bunch of BS don't listen to them go some where else.. I have 5% all the way around and they put the tint over the bumps on my back window and I haven't had a problem at all!! It can be done..

 

I have 20% all the way around on my BO sedan with no problems. They are full of it!

I do know that the back window tint will fade and lift before the sides but that still takes a couple years here in Phoenix.

 

Well that sucks that the job has already been done. Tint doesn't stick to the dot matrix that well but that area can be lightly sanded and the tint will then stick better over that area. If you could bring it back to them before the adhesive completely dries and tell them to redo the rear glass. Your rear glass probably looks funny without 20% tint over the matrix. You can get away with 35% tints and not cover the matrix but 20% rear and none on the matrix would stand out.

 

go back tell them that you know they are lieing. Were do you live ill bring my car and shuve it in their faces.

 

only my old (97) mustang those dots were porcelin (sp?) and tint doesnt really stick to it. if you take it to a good shop they can get it done. mine lasted pretty long but eventually started to peel off after a year or 2. dont know about the G yet because its too cold to do tint here right now but im assuming it is percelin also.

 

thanks for the help guys...it doesn't look that bad/ noticeable really. i was just curious. the tint job wasn't the among the best that i've received in the past. i'll probably live with it for a year and then get it all redone. thanks for the advice...

 

i got 15% tint on my BO coupe and they did the dot-matirx as well. i've had em since June/05 when I bought my G and no problems thus far. all for $90

 

I have 15% on my rear including the dot matrix, no problems what so ever. Theyre bs

 

+1..

 

No problems with my 5% back there at all. If this were the case the rear 1/4 windows would have the same problem with how they are framed... I have no issues there either.

 

I didnt have any problems at all

 

My tint guy is currently doing my rear windshield at 35%. He strongly suggested not to tint over the dot matrices because it will become fuzzy and white. Knowing how particular I am, I agreed with him. I'll take pics when the job is done, but hopefully it won't be too bad.
