I've done my share of mobile tinting. It is up to the installer to set expectations BEFORE the job is agreed on. There is no way in hell I'd even consider tinting outside. My last mobile job was a grand new Demon 170 at a local dealership. It was brought into a side showroom, out of the elements, away from customers, opening doors, etc. The final result was no different than in our shop. Back to the OP...that install is extremely poor but without knowing the environment it was in, one can only speculate.

Forgot how much of a pain in the ass the rear window is on the Chrysler PT Cruiser. First attempt success with Xpel 15% XR ceramic. Forgot to take some pics after install.

I know it's "just another Challenger", but DAMN!!!

Add me to the list. Brand new F150 and did the exact same thing. Never, ever attempted to do it again lol.

Park it outside in the sun. How you "cure" it will have zero impact on the film. It's not rocket science so why make it more complicated than it needs to be lol?!

The logic is that you have no idea what is easy and what is difficult when it comes to tinting...if you did, none of us would be having this ridiculous conversation. Just curious...what vehicle EXACTLY are you wanting tinted??? Or is it still a secret???

I wouldn't even consider agreeing to tint ANY glass out of any vehicle without knowing what I'm up against. The 80s have many, many not so nice vehicles to work on...even with the glass removed (it can actually make it more difficult in some cases). No different, for example, if I was selling a vehicle but wouldn't list make, model, year and just say it has 4 doors and 4 tires...a vehicle is a vehicle, right? I think you are being a little too paranoid thinking someone is going to rip you off lol. Good luck.

Something a bit different. 5% on the sides, 20% on the rear glass and 35% on the windshield.

Take it back, get them to remove it ALL, get a 100% refund and try to find a different "professional" tint business. It's places like this that give us a bad rep!

Not a bad day. Challenger Hellcat and WRX STI.

I have had the same experience...17 years of tinting and I haven't once had to send in a claim. Unless it was a large job (flatglass for example) I don't think it's worth the hassle.

I remove the quarters from the vehicle when there is only a rubber gasket. A bit more work but they are so much easier to deal with.

Actually got to work on my personal vehicle for once. 5% over the back, 20% on the fronts, 70% on the windshield and 35% on the pano roof. Also tinted my rear taillights, third brake light as well as the front side headlight markers.

It is probably easier to go on youtube and watch some videos but I'll try to explain as best as I can. In a nutshell you want to cut one side of the rolldown, shift the film over by 6-8mm on the same side you just cut, cut the other edge and then shift it back to "center" it (same amount of overlap on both vertical edges), roll the window down and then do your final cut along the top edge. As long as there is no light gaps you are good to go.

I use my own film or nothing. I am the one installing it, I'm the one with my name on it...no way would I use a different film.
