How to handle dot matrix and tint?
How is everyone handling the rear window tint where the dot matrix is? Vinyl at the top? Glue the tint? What looks the best and what lasts the best? My F1 dealer recommends vinyl at the top, thought?

Supriseingly my F1 dealer did a great job just on a basic install.. the 15% on the back has only very minor imperfections, the 35% on all sides looks great and the %50 on the windshield you could never tell that it is there... Had i though about vinyl I might have applied it to the back just for shits n giggles, but personally it looks damn good...

They sanded it down but it didn't make much of a difference. Looks a lot like everyone else's tint. But I think if someone took a power sander to it, it would make a difference. I saw them bring out sandpaper and they did it by hand.

my rear window looks like shit. I have 20%, and the dot matrix looks whak. I want to add vinyl.
do i need to peel back or cut the tint ? would putting vinyl over the tint make a difference? what is the best option for me since my car is already tinted. Any advice is greatly appreciated. |

I just got my car tinted on this passed Saturday and my guy told me that all it would need is a bit of TLC about a week later. He said that by pressing it down he would be able to get about 95% of it out. If not, he'd vinyl it for me.
I guess I'll have to wait and see this Saturday. BTW, got 20% rear windshield, 35% side windows and 50% front windshield. Looks sweet! |

A black vinyl strip across the top before applying the tint is the best option to rid of the dot matrix. You can also wait a about a week or so and go back over the dot matrix w/ your thumb/finger and push out the excess air bubbles out.
