Read section 13 in their terms of service agreement and you will find your answer as to whether it is worth wasting your money 👍🏻

Is it the windshield or side windows?

window film is technically sunglasses for your vehicle or home. Looking through it with polarized sunglasses will give you a fuzzy vision feeling. Let it dry for a week and take off the glasses when you drive. 
why would you wear sunglasses while in a vehicle with tinted windows?

hope this helps. 😎

What would the cutting strip have to do with the way it cuts windows?

Highplains gave you the right advice. The cutting strip has a great deal to do with it.

if it is only cutting some areas of the pattern and not the other, it is because the surface under the cutting blade is not level (as a plotter without the Teflon or nylon strip that should be there). Last, your cut speed should be between 20-35 and down force 12 or 25 on graphtec and 120 grams for other machines.

Sorry Marcus. I worked on a 5 series BMW Monday here in Georgia and the customer had this material on the side doors and it literally turned the top of the door panels to a gummy residue.  
I have a couple patents under my belt for other applications, but, a pending application gives you time to work on those bottoms and sides as to make it an application consumer’s can apply and feel comfortable knowing the product performs as intended with common sense knowledge.

not being facetious by any means, just would be a hard sell to the professional film installers in this forum.

remember back in the day road runner and wile coyote……back to the drawing board.

cheers

Sounds like Llumar Air 80 or 90 series.

Shop needs to make it right.

brand new truck. That sucks.

They need to replace windshield and have one of their other installers reinstall and you can be sure they will pay attention next time.

Cheers

I have had windshield tinted for a little under a year. In certain sunlight, you can see odd lines in the film. I have tried to clean both sides of the windshield to no avail so it only makes sense to me that there is something in between the film and glass. 
 

should I have the film removed and new tint applied to get rid of this? 
 

thanks. 
 

Well Sir. I believe you have a few things going on. 
first, did you notice this back then?

second, you mentioned you tried to clean inside and out yourself?, what did you use and how?

last, try alcohol and water mix to clean and a separate towel to wipe residue that is left. Looks like you left a bit of window cleaner behind and it dried. 
pics don’t do much for all that.

looks as it could have been cleaned and wiped side to side and then up and down and walked away. 
no abrasive or crazy scrubbing should have been done.

if it took a year to notice it, it most likely isn’t the install. 
just saying.

cheers.

No way. All those guys hang out together and their cars smell like sex!

That's just what I heard

I heard they polish hard surfaces

Definitely installer. I would say a complete, unconscious rush job.

Edge of front door, definitely from a rush file job. Obviously from the jagged edges up and around the top.

that rear window even has a fine cut line down the side where the blade cut off the film prior to laying and shrinking. Audi and VW are known for soft glass.

Maybe there was a lot of dust and debris settled on the film when he hard carded it for shrinking. I’ve seen a window or two over the years but never every window.

I hope they make it right for you. You shouldn’t have to polishanything. That is just bad workmanship.

You mentioned dry bubbles. Are you spraying the glass as well as the film? Sounds like you need more solution coverage.

dry bubbles and milk lines mean you are not getting a uniform disbursement of the solution between the glass and the adhesive.

let me know

Cheers

All I can say is WOW.

dan, I am glad I wrapped my carbon fiber road bike myself.

Is it inside or outside?, of the glass.

Jersey is tough my friend.

in the last four years, they have put an insane amount of restrictions on you.

that is may I went south

Yes

That is definitely now from an installer, even if it were Ray Charles. 
cut scratches would have been around the outside edge of the the glass where it is cut.

keep in mind, any scratches on the interior area on the outside of glass is more pronounced when film is added to the inside.

hope this helps

PS, Chevy truck front doors are notorious for this.

cheers

I actually started my career in 82 and what I can say, most are much easier these day.

If it was in your blood, it is still there my friend

Heineken Mini Fridge.... Every time he opens the door he will think of you 😎

Thank VW for putting their defroster lines so close together on your particular model, the pitch and angle of the rear glass will cause that when a film is applied. 
Cheers

Sure it doesn’t look appealing right now, but as others have mentioned, leave it, let it dry, take your fingernail at that point and push towards the small fiber and be done with it.

if you have them redo it, you may have three elsewhere. 
looks good from here.

Cheers

No

Are you using windows or Mac?
