Damn tint shop...

Got my car detailed and tinted at a local shop here in Vancouver that came highly recommended (more for detailing, but figured I'd do them both there). Anyways, everything looked great - polish was good, and tint looked good...until I went to look at the drivers side quarter window...and saw this:





Grrr...I guess it's kinda out of sight, but I'm still ticked that they thought it was necessary to use a razor to cut up the weatherstripping to get the tint down.

In comparison, the other side (passenger quarter panel window) looks fine. (see pic)



I figure it's not worth my time to bitch about it and get it fixed. I'm just kinda pissed they had to tear up the weatherstripping like that for the tint. Anyone tried replacing that strip and know how much it should cost? (or the part number for it?)

man that even irritates me! When i got my tsx i was taking a good look at it and found a rather large bubble in the tint! that popped and tore some tint off, needless to say they fixed it no charge. I just hate it when ppl make careless mistakes such as these ^^^

I am planning on getting my windows tinted and if I got my car back with that kind of careless damage, I would not be happy at all. I would also be pursuing getting it repaired courtesy of the tint shop.
