Default Tint Fuxed Up?

Just got tints for the first time on the tC and aside from the bubbles on the side window that i have to go in to get fixed, im starting to notice on the "rim" of the back window and rear small windows i can see some spots as they were, dark black, and some of t hem are now "highlighted". To not confuse anyone im talking about...if u look at ur rear window or one of the rear quarter windows u can see little dots around the border of the window......now that i got tints some lines of those dots look like there is a whtie borderaround the dots???? First time getting tints tell me what you all think.

oh btw this was sposed to be a premium tint shop that my boy hooked me up with, when we pulled in the guy was working on a corvette Z06 and a 06jaguar...so at the time i thought it was legit.

Those dots you talk about are normal.

The tint simply cannot stick in between the dots, those dots are called a Dot Matrix.

The only way to get rid of that, is to sand the dots down before applying tint, which no tint place will really do for you.

ALL tCs with tint will have a white border around their rear windows.

Yup the tint won't usually stick in between the dots.. on my last car I had a bunch of dots at the top of the rear window, I used black vinyl to cover it up so it didn't look so bad.

the tC only has a few around the window borders luckily
