If i let him redo them and they comes out as bad or worse

That's the problem, if they didn't do it right the first time, it's not likely they will the second either.

Have you shown it to them/the owner? I'd give them first crack at making it right.

No one wants to trash my beach toy?

It's nicer than my truck.  

By the way, there's some stuff in the back, hope it's not in the way.

BTW, I wont be able to pick it up until after hours, oh and I need a ride to work and back, and my dog rides in the back, hope you don't mind the hair, oh and one of the windows doesn't work.

BTW, your competition is cheaper, can you match the price?

Hope the baby seat isn't in the way.

Sorry about the smell, I think a mouse died under the seat.

Can you post a picture?

Is it in all of the windows (the back too)?

How does it look from the inside?

What kind of film is it?

Have you show it to the tinter? If so what did they say?

Right now I don't have a clue, but it does look like the film from the pictures.

Nice truck, I got the '01 version 😂

Yep, hopefully they can get up there and look closer and save you a trip.

Looks like this example but not as far gone...

Hard to tell, looks like the IG failed. That's all one pane right?

Once a razorblade hits that lettering it will scratch everything else it contacts. I've done it, learned the hard way. It's a rookie mistake.

There's no film on the glass in the first two pics, only scratches from going over the lettering there with a razor blade and some left over adhesive. 

I don't know what's going on in the 2nd and 3rd photos, but they look like they are on the outside, could be from a slim jim, ice scraper, etc, who knows?

Last pic just looks like poor installation of the film.

Yes I did. We aren't really a review site, that is best left to sites like yelp.

You're very generous.

They know they did it. They had a chance to make it right and denied it. I'm sure you aren't the first to complain if it's been going on at least 4 years. 

I'd get a couple of estimates to replace the glass, just to know how much they need to pay and send them a bill.

Not if it's something under the film.

If you register an account you can post a photo and we'll be able to help more.

If you can feel the scratches with your nail, they wont polish. Polishing also leaves a visible distortion.

Definitely the tinter.

Sorry you had a bad experience, reflects poorly on the industry.

How much does car front door windows cost that the glass is tinted 

You can't really get it for passenger vehicles. It's just not made, not legal for them to go beyond 70%. Anything darker will have to be aftermarket and should comply with local tint laws.

It seems like that glass is way more fragile than it should be.

The chips in the side of the glass are strange and how could that be the tinter?

They filed the edge there. What else could have caused it?

You think the scratches are from scraping overspray from the windows? Interesting thought, but why only scrape that bottom section, and why are there still specks where it's been scraped? I think that's dust.

It is a tough one, not 100% certain either way. I wonder if there is anything on the back window.

All 4 windows? Not likely.
