    Hey so I got tint job today and the back has a line. The tint guy said he couldn’t do anything about it because of the “metal”, but I think he was bsing because he was in a rush to close. How are your back window tints?

    and yes my truck came with factory privacy glass too and I had it tinted all the way around with ceramic tint. 100% recommend ceramic tint if you live in a hot climate

    Your tint guy needs to redo his work. That sucks.

    closing time is not a factor.
    the vehicle is not done until it is done. It is not released until it is done. Assuming a person knows what they are doing.

    factory glass has a slight dye. Not tint. Tint is a film. It does not come with a film.
