I had my windows tinted Monday. I have been wanting to get them tinted since I bought the car, but I finally had the time to get it done Monday afternoon. There was only one place listed in the phone book, so that's where I took it.
It looks good, except when you roll the windows down, the tint doesn't go all the way to the top of the glass. It's only about a 1/8 inch gap and can't be seen with the windows rolled up. I've never had tinted windows before, so is this normal? It is the "stick on" type of tint. Is there any other method of tinting windows, besides factory tinted windows?
The care and cleaning sheet that I got said not to roll the windows down for 36 hours to give the adheasive time to dry. I waited 48 hours to be safe, so I didn't notice the gap until Friday. It also says to wait 30 days before washing the windows, and to only wash it with mild soap and water. The guy washed the windows when he finished, but there are some streaks that are driving me crazy. Is it really necessary to wait 30 days? Sounds like a CYA statement to me so they can void the warranty on it if you come in before 30 days complaining about something.
