Take it back and politely ask them to fix the issue but I will warn you, once you get that spec fixed or replaced, you will find another somewhere else and so on and so forth.

I use the pink clean (softest squeegee available) and never had any issues with it...
 

Remove them, I’ve tried shrinking over certain back glass decals and it’s only ever screwed me. If there is any decal in the way, I simply let the customer know and I remove them. 

Yes sir, 44 tools has them

Orange crush, pink clean and the redline. 

Really sharp corners on that red, i wonder how long they stay that sharp, even if they wear a little still sharper corner than the other 2 in the pic. Gonna check one out. Thanks
 

The redline squeegee beveled version has a thicker bevel than any of the other fusion blades to begin with which does help. I’d say it’s maybe 1/8”-3/16” thicker, I’ve compared brand new orange crushes to a new redline. 

I have both generations of the blue max and the first gen is harder than the second. With that being said the redline is stiffer than both gens of the bluemax. The blue maxes are inconsistent and that’s my biggest complaint with them. It removes a considerably larger amount of moisture then the bluemax for sure. I used to use the blue max before switching to the redline. I use the 1/4 cropped version as well. Order one and give it a shot, you won’t be disappointed I can assure you.

Best damn squeegee blade for auto hands down. Love mine. They glide across the film and remove ridiculous amounts of water as well. Take your current squeegee and do an initial pass then follow up with the redline and see for yourself! I used to use a little softer squeegee for rear windows but have the redline a shot for the last few I have done and it’s awesome!!

1/8”... are you serious?

Yeah but honestly, it has nothing to do with the film, but more with regards to the whole safety factor, which requires no knowledge of film to understand that having your windows pretty much blacked out is not safe, not only for you, but the people around you. 
 
 
 

5% is black, 15% is my favorite! It has a slight dark gray hue to it but it’s by far the best looking film I have ever seen! 20% has a very very slight gray/brown kinda hue. Nothing dramatic but I’ve found it matches a lot better to factory tinted glass than any previous films I’ve used in the past. 

I love tint slime. Switched to slime after starting with baby shampoo, then switched to fusion which didn’t offer enough slip no matter how little or more I added. Slime was my last resort and I fell in love. Everyone has their preference and reasoning for other options which I respect but I no longer have to deal with the gunk build up like shampoo. Slime seems to work better than anything else for the back windows as well. Knock on wood but no more fighting peanuts and random fingers either. I did switch to global QDP as soon as o switched to tint slime as well so maybe those problems weren’t resolved by only switching to slime. I like to believe it does play a role though!

Here’s the top edge of a rear back sliding glass. As stated above, absolutely no room to tuck or overlap the film. The small spot you may see in these pics looks like a boarder but it’s just a reflection off the plastic piece.

All is good, I haven’t had a chance to tint one of these back windows, this truck just came for matching fronts so I peeked at the rest. When I do get to do one, I’m going to do my best to bump it up far as I can and see what it looks like. At least there is a dot matrix there but still that may make things better or worse! I will try to see if that plastic piece can be moved at all to tuck but it sure didn’t feel or look like it would when I checked it out the first time.

I started with blue max, went to the orange crush, then tried the hybrid, now I only use the orange crush. First pass antske it light then I do a second and apply more pressure. I love it.
