Window Tint Touch Ups

Just got the tint done, and the Dot Matrix looks....not so good. I am going to let it sit until next week, and then take it back in for replacement if it does not get better.

My question is about the small bubbles in the tint. Is there an easy way to repair those on your own? The shop I went to seems to think the film looks good, and they DEFINITLY do not think the DOT MATRIX will look any better.

I would rather forget about them, and touch it up myself if I can. any suggestions??

The top on my rear glass looks like ass. Some of the people are not even tinting that part of the rear glass, they are using black adhesive of some kind and not tinting the matrix dots. The bubbles in the tint, not in the matrix part should go away in couple of days.

They arent really headlight covers (like the black plastic ones you see on trucks and stuff). They are just black housing headlights I made my removing the inner chrome piece and painting it flat black.
