Okay so yesterday I went to get an eyebrow on my 2001 Xterra. Ive been to this tint shop before and they did a semi good job, but left a black spec in the window so I had to get it redone. He was nice about at and didnt think twice about fixing it. So with this in mind I went to the same place to get my eyebrow put on. I wanted him to cut the tint flat so it wouldnt be as curved on the edge of the window so he cut it flat. This looked fine but it came to a point in the middle. I asked him if he could simply cut it off, he paused for a second then pulled it off and said he would have to custom cut it. I told him he could just put in back on and its not a big deal but he said he couldnt and started on another piece. I could tell he was pissed and didny want to say anythinf else. So he finished and charged me 40 bucks! He said it would be 20 upfront! I asked him why it wad twice the amount and he said because it it "custom cut" but I think it was bevause I pissed him off somehow. im only 18 so I think he took advantage of me. So I go home and inspect it further and realized its jaggedly cut around the rearview mirror, theres a clear space at the top and its starting to peel. What do I do???

Sounds like you are right. Taken advantage of.

I would go back, let him rip it off in a pissy mood

( yes the glue will still be on the glass because he will do it just right).

Accept a refund and never go there again.

Life's too short to deal with a-holes.

good grief.....I wouldn't touch a windshield strip for the higher price...let alone the lower price.....

get over it and move on. You should have never paid if you didn't agree with the price after it was done. I would not give you money back after you took it....

the reason you are finding flaws now is you are mad....

B4 I take on a visor with a exact rear view (metal tab with no black outline) I let them know it will show a light arch gap. If they agree I do the install. I say that because I have friends that will not accept it. The "custom cut " is not something I do because it never looks perfect. If he took out the center point it might look like the ocean. If it is a car that forms a cheese ball arch I push the sides up and shrink the middle.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you

      Process

      Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
