Angry Need Help - Asap

The place that installed Llumar tint for me on Thursday did a shitty work...
I can see dots in my tint with the dirt under it + a big part pilled of from the rear windshield...
Has some one experience this?
Also if you look through the tint from inside I think the view is not so clear as through regular glass, all tint looks like small "waives" not sure how to describe it...
Do you think I should ask them to redo the whole car???
Need advice today before I go there.
What should I tell?
Thanks.

Well I know that the tints will look as if there are water stains in between the tint and window, which is 100% normal after having them installed. Within about a week, all the water spotting should go away. From the rear end of the car, when I look in mine, I can see right through the tint, as if the window isn't tinted, the only part that is kinda blurry is that dot matrix part at the top of the back windshield...but so so all the TL's...

post pics of the tints, so we can get a better understanding of the problem you might be experiencing...

take care.

When I got my windows tinted I was told to let it cure for 48 hrs. I did have some waves as well but they cleared up after 2 days. Now the tint look incredible. The place where I took it did an excellent job. You might consider just calling them and telling them about the issues you are having.

You need to wait and relax. I had similar experience with my tints and it wasn't until a week did all the "bubbles" finally go away.

P.S.
If you have dirt stuck in between the tint & window, they shoudl definitely be able to re-tint it...but the main thing is that you have to wait and be patient.

Give it time...if it's really dirt, they'll redo it.

I called the guy today.
He responded that I should understand that some "dust" particles might be
trapped under the tint, its not possible to avoid that... he has them even on his car.
They will be replacing the rear small windows and he will look at the rest.
Do you think guys that this is true that you cant have a non factory tint without a single small buble due to dust?
I thought for $200 it should be perfect...

If you are not happy, there usually are things called "money-back guarantee". If the installer warranty's his job, you should have no problem. At least the tint product should be covered from lumar. as you did, talk with the installer and take the car back; state to the installer that a thorough cleaning of the windows should be done (suggest a steam gun and microfiber towels to do the job). In all fairness, big labs and research centers spend gazillions ensuring their environments are free from dust and contaminants. I personally would expect some dust and particles to be lodged in between the glass and the tint... unless you have gazillions to spend on sterilization ;-)
