GR86 Tinted rear window? Please post your pictures - Mine looks weird?

[James-UK]

Hi, has anyone tinted their rears?
I have... and I've got a horrible bubble layer at the base of the window... Right on the dot matrix of the window. Has anyone else had this? My tinter is telling me its normal, but I'm not so sure.

Having some issues with the rear too, seems to just be lifting/air bubbles for me.
I do know right at the bottom is inaccessible, as in your interior stops you reaching the bottom of the glass.

I will take another picture from the same angle as yours shortly.

I've seen this on cars before, the dot matrix is a pain in the arse, I think it's normal.

Most of mine is ok so its proof it can be done; guess its just a pain for the installer.

I believe this is somewhat normal. Having tint over the dott matrix is always a pain in the arse. This is because the dot matrix is raised from the glass, so you will never get full adhesion to the glass as it does trap a small amount of air under it. Overtime this will eventually bubble and lift.

This is the reason I'm hesitant to get my windows tinted.... I wish they were factory tinted instead.
