Default Not at all happy with my tint "job"

About 5 days ago I got tint. Couldn't roll down my windows for 4 days. The windows were a little bubbly/hazy but they said it'd go away so I figured it would. Well it has, but not all of it. Still a lot of bubbles. However, my main concern is when I rolled my windows down today it's not done all the way to the top. There's about 1/4 of an inch not tinted at the top of the windows so you don't notice it when they're up but when you roll them down there's some left at the top of all four windows. Now mind you, I paid $300 for this. I realize it's a little pricey to begin with, but I mean come on. They didn't even do the job. I wanted it done well.

Are all tint jobs done this way? Did I get royally screwed? Should I go back and demand my money back and go somewhere else? Should I have them re-do this? Will the bubbles go away?

What do I do here?

Thanks.

dunno about the bubbles, but my tint goes to within about an 1/8 of an inch from the top of the glass. Essentially the tint stops where the edge of the window starts to roll.

It sounds like your guys didnt bother taking out the glass and justs did the tint with the windows rolled up. I'd take it back personally and have a cow.

I'll take a pic of my tint later if you like.

It's pretty common to leave a 1/4" off at the top edge. It keeps the tint from getting worn at the edge where it rubs against the weather stripping but you shouldn't have any bubbles.

Fraid you got ripped man. Go back and give them a bit of hell! I love mine, and got it done for $250 and they went as close to the top as humanly possible. I have had it for 2 years and no problems

Mine was $300 (OK, it was an Xmas gift so it was free) but it's perfect - high quality film, 100% glass coverage, and not an imperfection anywhere. Don't settle for less.

Holy crap, and they didnt even politely ask you to bend over before they *** raped you???!!!!!! $300 is a joke. Im honestly amazed anyone would pay that much for a tint job. Ive had two cars tinted before and it was$179 -lifetime warranty each time and was perfect. Thats just CRAZY!!!!!!!! Sorry to hear about this man.
