What to do if it doesn't stick???
When I purchased by 2000 Coup I was lucky since it was tinted exactly how I would have wanted if I were to get it done myself. The driver & passenger windows are just dark enough so that others can't really see in and you can see out with no problems. The back glass is limo tint. ???My questions is, what do you do if the tint has started to seperate where the dimples are??? The tint is perfect everywhere else on on the back glass except for the dimpled section on the back class up next to the roofline. It doesn't look bad at all, and most wouldn't notice but was wondering if I could try to squeegy it out or if the dotted portion of the tint should or could be cut out & replaced with a new matching piece of tint! I'm wasn't able to find out when it when it was tinted but I would guess it has been tinted for 2 years give or take a few months.

I had my windows tinted about a month and a half ago, and I have a little bit of air bubbles around the dots. They are not as bad as before, but I squeegee the tint over the bubbles about everyday to try and get the bubbles out and for the tint to lay perfect.

My installer did a great job.

The shop is Oasis tinting and the guy we want to get it done by is Sundown (770-448-8867). He has moved his shop to Buford (Friendship Lane area just off the I-985) but can still be reached at 770-448-8867 for appointments.
He will do his best to honor the PSP price. Give him a call the day before you want to schedule the tinting. (The PSP price is 150.00), and yes, he paints the dots to fix the dot problem.
