Does anyone have a solution to pressing the tint film firmer to avoid the little air pockets of air between the tint film and the glass caused by the littel dots of the navi antenna?

I was thinking of getting a hold of an epidermic needle and... yes one by one pocking each pocket then pressing down to delete the air pockets.

I'm a little anal about the looks of my car and I think the tint on the back window is a little off. The shop guy said this was normal and that nothing could be done.

Sure I'll find a solution eventually, but was wondering what ideas you guys had.

Thanks!

Yea, that’s normal, but it isn’t the NAVI antenna.
The antenna is UNDER the rear parcel shelf, not in the window.

So it must be the radio antenna eh?

The “dots” are nothing, just for sun shade I guess.
The radio antenna is like the top 3-inches or so of the defroster lines.
If you follow the “lines” with your eye you will see that the top couple are separate.

My tint guy did a pretty good job over the “dots”.
If you press your nose right up to the glass you can see it isn’t perfect, but stand back and it looks great.

Yeah some of the better tint shops have figured out how to do the dots without leaving the bubbles....I didnt get that done...
I'd change it, but if I pull off my tint...it might pull the defroster lines off.....

So does that mean that there is no tint film over the dots?

If so, how does it look? I might do a cut job myself, or have it re tinted since I wanted metalic tint to start with (not recommended for navi equiped cars).

Any info would be aprreciated.

Hey my name is Gabriel too!

Interesting what people do over the net, but would never do in person!

moomaster_99

Really....interesting what people will say when they have a computer screen to protect them...

Gabo3k

Ah dude, I think your side windows will all look better the same shade.

Since I got the tint, my ride' s a good make out spot! Can't see didly from the outside in! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

gmilian

actually, we know each other. we're just having fun.
i didn't want to get my front windows as dark because it makes it a cop magnet. it's not worth it to me.
