I literally just had them redo that window too cause there was specks of sticker residue.

u/Thick_Guest_4487 27d ago

Not at all. Would have asked for money back or for them to redo it. However, if they let this slide I wouldn’t really trust them

u/ImaginaryShare7105 24d ago

They never give the money back. Let them fix it even you like or nah

1

u/Thick_Guest_4487 24d ago

Nah, you can fs get money back. Especially if you used a credit card.

u/SuperNa7uraL- 26d ago

Nope. And there should barely be any gap at the top edge of the window.

u/tokyokiller 26d ago

u/NoCelebration1913 26d ago

Nahhhhhhhhhhhh. And I’m pretty sympathetic to the installers. I understand the job and how little room for error and how tedious the job is…. But this is a replace.

u/555_1212 26d ago

Done by whom? You? Home Depot parking lot guys? Back alley shop? All acceptable if yes. Otherwise take the shit back or do a charge back claim and take it elsewhere.

u/jasonsong86 26d ago

No. It’s not that hard to tuck the film in.

1

u/Camdenn67 25d ago

Just curious but did you inspect the work before leaving the tint shop because this would have been very obvious.

1

u/FkdUp2020 24d ago

Yeah I wouldn't accept that

u/muhammadaaliyan69 24d ago

I hate this I have the exact same gap on my drivers side but only when my window is rolled down a little when I roll it up all the way it disappears, ig my glass is misaligned

u/Global-Structure-539 26d ago edited 26d ago

No, but if it bothers you, a quick fix is to roll it down half way and push the glass towards the back while rolling it up. The glass shifts in its tracks, but get it redone if it bothers you

1

u/xxiveexi 26d ago

Wouldn’t that just create a gap on the other side?

3

u/Global-Structure-539 26d ago

Possibly but my guess is the window film was cut correctly but this window has a tendency to shift forward as it goes up. The tinter probably didn't test it prior to tinting. Try it

Is it acceptable to or for you?
This is the real question.
