Can someone post a pic of what it looks like from inside and outside with the PD trick?

I have to have my back window redone so this thread comes at a good time.

Seems to be pushing down a little better today. Not perfect though but less noticible.

I can push it down and make the white areas about 50% better but 5 minutes later it comes back

I have looked at a lot of C5s and I would say 90% of them have some sort of bubbling issues on the dot matrix. For me what I did is I actually removed the tint from the very top of the rear window so at least it looked like I wanted it that way vs the uneven look of the bubbles. I was actually pretty happy with the results.
