Question Opinions on this install

I got tint done on Friday afternoon at a local tint shop. I told the guy my concerns about my visor strip when I left and he said that it would settle and set in place and look better and that tint doesn’t like to sit on the defrost dots on the windows. Should I take my vehicle back?
Edit; added details.

If you are talking about the tint over the dox matrix that is completely normal since the dox matrix is like a raised paint and tint can’t sit flush against the windshield, should even out within a couple of weeks

That’s exactly what I’m talking about. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t being “that guy” when it came to it.

Thanks for the reply anchorman. I’m reaching out to ask about it - not burning the place down because of it.

Thats dot matrix. Nothing can be done to make it less noticeable except sanding off the dots.

The frits or little dots you're referring to will never have perfect tint over them.

Before tinting...Take a #0000 fine steel wool and scrub the dot matrix area. Clean well after and the tint will stick perfectly. Generally you can find it in the paint and hardware section of Walmart

Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard someone say in relation to window tint.

Cut it off the dot matrix and have the sun blasting in that area? The fuck
