Default opinions please (tint)

The more I look at the tint job, the more I'm starting to think that it wasn't done as well as it could have been. Let me know your opinions..

First, there is a scratch on the back window....about an inch or two long. Then it looks like there is a perforated line in the back window. Also, from the inside you can notice the gap between tinting films. And finally, the driver/passenger doors don't have the tint all the way to the end of the window, just the end of the doorframe...

What about the front windows, shouldn't the tint go all the way to the edge of the window and not just to the edge of the doorframe?

The tint should go down far enough where you can't see the end of the tint. How much did you pay to have this done?

it's actually the side of the window that's the problem IMO. I would have thought it should have gone to the edge of the window and not to the edge of the interior door frame.

$199 CDN..

as long as you have the reciept, they re-do it for free until it satisfys you. If they dont refund it or fix it, take them to court!!

Went to the place yesterday after work and they're going to redo the back window for sure; but because the tint doesn't stick well to the "dot matrix" design on the side windows...that's as far as they could go over with the tint.
