Yeah, ive done tinting for only two years, but i also know that it should come out better than that. yes the dot matrix is a pain, but if prepped right before you lay on the tint, and push out all the solution afterwards...it should stick well and only get better over time being in the sun. It wont fill the gaps between the matrix, but it should stick a lot better than what it sounds like your issue is...stay away from the heat gun if its been cured for more than a day, youll burn the tint

haha! I was used to wearing sunglasses all the time so the fist couple weeks after I tinted my windshield I still wore them out of habit. The first couple cars that caught my eye changing colors didn't throw up a red flag. Then my 60 year old boss pulled up in a new ford pick up white with a purple pearl, thats I figured it out lol!
