Yeah I'll definitely be taking it back tomorrow. Just don't know if I should call or just go there right away. The place is like 40 minutes away because of construction.

I had it redone today and it is much much closer to the edge. Except there are some bubbles left, but they will take care of that Monday.
What I did notice was there is some dust stuck behind the tint and the glass in the little back windows. First I thought they messed up again, but then I went to find bunch of cars with tinted windows and they all seem to have that.

here's what my alta mere job looks like. i wasn't sure if they were supposed to go all the way to the very edge of the window but i guess it's not big deal since you can't tell unless the windows are half way down. they're at least uniform all the way around.

Yeah I am glad they did too.
Thing is after they re-did it, I went home and then at home noticed all these tiny, tiny bubbles. It is dust trapped between tint and window. Mostly on driver side back (little) window. All others have very, very few. I got all mad and called them and pretty much made it to where Monday they were gonna refund my money (120 out of 170) and take my tint off. Then I went around a parking lot at a local Best Buy and looked for cars with tint and I noticed that every car had those baubles with trapped dust. Then I felt like an idiot, because I never really paid attention to that on anyone else's car. Haha. So then I called back and said that I was being too picky and as long as they fix any air bubbles that might come up I'll be happy.
Also, I washed my car today, I'll post some pictures in a little bit.

Does any one else has some dust? Or is it pretty much perfect? Maybe it will lay better once more time passes?
Here are the pictures.


The second picture makes it look pretty bad, but thats when the car was dirty and there was dust and crap on the outside of the car.
And here the car after a wash.

Car looks clean...as for the window, it looks like they didnt clean it before re-laying the tint on it. Maybe it will settle over time but it looks like it will bubble worst or peel from that picture.

I am really **** too. Thats why I've been really frustrated about this for the past two days. I will see how it settles and then go from there. If it has to be fixed should be no big deals since the window is so small.
