Guest gotbliss56 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 He stopped right at the dot matrix. Is this considered the right thing to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matt5983 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 No it's not. With a wide dot matrix I use a vinyl to cover it. Give it 24hrs and then tint the rear window with the tint going over the vinyl on the inside. This way it looks like the whole back glass is tinted and no gaps at all. Others would glue or sand it but each to there own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I think you are wrong...from that inside pic...there is no color change from the matrix up....I think what you are seeing on the outside is the silvering of film because of the dot matrix.

Good spot there slick, I'm on my phone so can't really tell but now you have mentioned it.......... Surly if it was tinted up to the line of the dot matrix you could see the edge of the film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slick Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Ok...where I have the arrow...is that where you are talking about him scraping off the defroster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gotbliss56 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Okay so... I am wrong although you can see the line there is film on the dot matrix. I could feel it, but the color is still off... anything that can be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matt5983 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Ah ha we have a winner. That's called silvering were the film cannot be sat between the dots. The only thing the tinter has done wrong is not told you this will happen. It's one thing we try to get right and many ways we try to do it but it's not always except able. When there as wide as yours I do what I said in my earlier post. BUT this costs extra money ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 the line is caused because the dots are raised off the glass, causing a "tent-like" effect with the tint. You can wait until it dries and on a warm day, push the tint down as I can see you did with your finger in that one spot....but even then, you are going to have air space trapped around the dots (as you can see where you pushed them). I have tried those dots with vinyl and have never been happy with the results. If I were you, I would just leave the tint the way it is....everybody else that has those Civic's tinted have the same issue. If you want to complain to someone, complain to Honda for putting the stupid dots there in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
