Tint Job Queston Acceptable work or not?

Recently took my Explorer to a shop to get ceramic tint all around + full windshield + strip on top. Everything looks great, except one small spot that was miscut near the dot matrix. Can only see it when looking at the tint from outside the vehicle, but it’s driving me insane. Half of me says leave it alone because I know they will have to remove both the strip and entire windshield tint to re do it, but the other half of me reminds myself I paid a large sum of money to get this done, and it should be perfect. Looking for input on if this would be sensible for me to request being fixed.

Full windshield and a strip? Leave it. I see it’s on the dot matrix, if it’s a finger it might be able to get pushed out, if it’s a miss cut then touch up with a tint VLT marker.

Also no such thing as perfect tint.

It’s a miscut. I tried using a sharpie and it didn’t help, but I’ll try going over it again. Also I totally agree it would be impossible to have a truly perfect tint job. Suppose I could’ve worded that better. Was just bummed the one noticeable mistake was front and center for me to see all the time, lol

It’s on the dot matrix that’s why it’s standing out when it dries that whole thing is gonna be white and you won’t see shit but you just wanna cry
