matrix-tips: I have tried the scrubbing of the dots, the glue messes, razor blading the dots, and even peeling back the tint and spraying with a water and alcohol mixture. The latest and greatest method takes no time and works out great. I use the product Pro-Bond. Finding it is easy as my tint distributor offers it. Pro-Bond is also awesome when it comes to the small dots around small windows. Just don't get the product on the clear part of the glass as it has a cloudy look. You also want to have the tint shaped just right when you press hard on the wide top dots as it will stick and not move anymore which may cause a crease. Good luck and enjoy....

matrix-tips: For Dot Matrix, try pulling back the film along the matrix and rinse the film off with plain water, then stick the film on without sgueegeeing and heat the top of the window while the water is still under te film (From the outside of course, then squeegy, make sure not to paper squeegy the top but wipe away the excess drips and leave a micro bead of water around the edge seems to prevent air from seeping back under. This seems to work almost all the time for me, if anything I only have to heat the stubborn spots again and resqueege.
