Window tint dot matrix
Had my widows done a week ago and it has some defects around the dot matrix.Does anyone have any tips on how to help the dot marix problem? The only solution ive heard of is to glue it. Ive also seen paint or vinyl to cover these ares. Is it possible to peel it back and glue it now after a week?

what i'm talking about is that i had a tint strip put at the top of my windshield and on the new 07's there are the black dots on the windshield (usually on the rear window of cars) and it is well known that tint does not stick well to these dots making an apperance of it not sticking or a defect on the outside. The place where i had it done told me that there is nothing you can do about it to make it better. i've read about the alternatives i've listed above on different websites. Just wanted to know if anyone had any good ideas to help me out and if the glue trick will work.

I'd go back to the tint shop and get your money back. They either don't know what they are doing or they are using cheap tint. I've tinted several vehicles and I've never had this problem.

someone told me to press a hot towel against it to help. i tried it and i think that it was just the pressure rubbing over it more than the hot towel but it helped a little. the biggest pain about it is that some of it looks perfect and some not so perfect. the not so perfect part isnt that terrible but it bothers me that it doesnt look all the same(maybe i'm just extremely picky). i have access to a heat gun should i get it and try or just live with it like it is? can i screw it up somehow with the heat gun?
