I just bought a 2006 Mazda6 a few months back and I just recently got it tinted. On the four windows, there is a crease/line near the top of the windows (about 1/4" down, where it rolls up). I took it back to the tint place to see if they would retint the windows, but the owner said that is due to the tight window seals of a new car and not because of the tint job. I'm not sure whether the owner is just lying to me or if this actually happens to everyone's cars. Has anyone else had this problem or heard of this? Does anyone have a 2006 with a tint job where this didn't happen? [/b]
I've had my 2006 6s sedan tinted since day 3 of having the car. The side window tint has about an 1/8" gap at the top which is how they apply it to allow for the window going up into the seal, but no creases. I don't think any sort of ripple or crease in the tint film is normal or correct. It appears he's not willing to make good on a mistake, not sure what your best course of action is but I would suggest having another discussion with him. if you paid by credit card you always have the option of disputing the charge until the problem is resolved. :irate:
I'd check around with local new car dealers and see who they use, you might find someone who will do it better. Maybe taking it to another shop and getting their opinion might be helpful also. :yesnod:
The rear window on the sedan is a PITA, mine kept bubbling at the bottom for the first week after it was tinted, they just had to press it back down. Now it's fine.
You should not roll down freshly tinted windows for several days, usually 3-4. :nono: Rolling them down too soon after the film is applied will cause it to seperate when the windows go up into the seals, maybe thats what's happening to yours?
