Default Convertable, Window tint

Took my C7 vert into get the windows tinted yesterday, and the tech had a problem getting the tint on the back window perfect, said he couldn't get all the water out because of the plastic trim. He didn't like it so, after two times he took it off. He came highly recommended.... Anyone have any ideas?

Hey Ken. Maybe our SG color. LOL I think my guy was cutting the tint too big.to cover the edges more the he needed to. I will try another tint shop to give it a shot, I'm in a small town so it's a bet limited...
