This tinter is a clown and shouldn't give up his day job in a circus.

 

Its very obvious that he never removed the door trim and gaskets as you can identify the shape of the conical finger of water/dirt contamination with his attempt to push it down and once it dried the dirt remaining has shown up.

Scratches on the  glass...guilty again.

 

Clown.

 

Refund, new glass, his cost.

Definitely a hack. Get your money back and take it somewhere reputable. See who has the best reviews online and go there.

What kind of tape do you guys use for the gaskets?

The shiny red stucco tape from the Depot, I know Bron tapes and others make similar but I like the width , I can use it on tight rear decks I don't feel like taking out.

It's real aggressive adhesive and conforms to curves. Thats what I use . :thumb

Since that is not a frame-less window, the scratch looks really high up to be made from a tinter. I see scratches like this on cars that have a dealer lock box (key box) attached to it. So it may have been there before. Additionally, the door scratches in the paint look like they can be carefully buffed or wet sanded out, they are also not in a common place for damage.  

The tint job doesn't look so good though and there is a good possibility that the installer isn't used to working on that particular car. The lower moldings are pretty thick on that car and tough to tuck underneath if you don't have experience with it. Usually a shop has a couple of guys and one will have more experience than the other. You def got the newer guy. Tint is a small world and I would appeal to the owner directly to fix the bad tint.

Given your issues, if I were the owner I would offer you a refund and repair. I've given more for less.

1 thing that I do not believe has been said about scratches on glass, after you put tint on the glass, flaws that were not visible before now become VERY visible, as far as scratches etc.  That dark background behind the glass now somewhat magnifies any flaws in the glass that literally could not be seen with the naked eye previous to the tint.  just an fyi

 

As far as the tint job itself, I am curious if you shopped around prices and went to the lowest priced guy by chance?  This does not look like a "seasoned veterans" work so to speak

 

The paint could likely be buffed in a matter of minutes in that area and would look scratch free.

Tint shop said they did not do any of the damage that all tools are rubber and they only use top of the line stainless steel for cutting tint. They also said they work on brand new cars and have never had any problems. We had the scratch fixed and are just living with the cut glass and poor tint job. The tint shop also said that dust is normal on windows and I tried to explain this is our 3rd time tinting windows on different vehicles and never had spots like this. All prior tint jobs were done in Ohio and were done right. We just moved to this state so I was unfamiliar with the shop. I did do google searches on the name of the shop before taking it in with no poor reviews. after the car was done and I found out owners name I did do a search just on his name and that's when the bad reviews came up. I will not be taking it back to that shop for removing or replacement.  Next trip to Ohio for visiting family I will schedule with the shop I know does good work.

      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.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      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?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      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!
