OK so I recently had my windows tinted with 50% solargard high performance charcoal all around (50% is the legal limit where I live). Anyways, at the top of the back window where the dots are it looks like shit. Anybody got any advice? Should I go back to the shop and complain? Cos it has a lifetime warranty. I read on the boards about putting black vinyl on it? Is that for before or after tint? (meaning under the tint or on top of the tint). Thanks.

 

black vinyl goes on the outside part of the glass covering the dots.

 

Ohhh I see. On the outside of the car then? Does it look OK? Did you have it done? Any pics? What kind of shop do I go to to have it done?

 

i have solargard titanium tint, 21%, and the vinyl part goes on the inside, I may be able to get you some pics later today of the vinyl strip, depending on my time schedule, my tint place just did the vinyl strip

 

so does it go over the tint or under the tint? thanks.

 

the stupid shop will tell you there is nothin they can do, but any good shop can tint it and it shoudl come out perfect. NO VINYL!!!!!!!!!mine did and evey1 else i know. thats why always tell ppl to offer the place little extra $$$$ to treat it like it was theirs.

 

yeah the top of mine sucks too, I complained and they said they could do it over for free if I wanted, but it will just do the same thing. They said the dots are called matrix and it's nearly imposssible to get the tint to settle right. Wish they told me that first.

 

I agree with VXCL. I got mine done, paid a lot for it, but they came out perfect. I don't have to worry about the dots and I got a lifetime warranty also. Any reputable shop should be able to do without complaints.

 

vxcl what % do you have? looks tight

 

Hey VXCL i like the painted panal on the bottom i was going to do that but didnt know how it would look i like that!

 

thanks. i got 5% or 95%. l used to like the silver bottom when i liked the sportly look. but now im goin all black with new skirts and rear lip. ill have some new pics of my car dropped and my hid projector setup around valentines day, however i will not have my hood painted, bumper repaired or new skirts. that pic is how my car looked in 2001. a lot has changed

 

i would bring it back to get it redone and then if that doesnt work then try the vinyl

 

i had the same problem on the rear window...I put a vinyl strip on it...ill get a pic later today for you
