Default Focus ST2 Tints

Hi. I had my windows tinted on my focus st2 on saturday. I havent had a dot matrix rear screen tinted before and the tint does not flush with the dots i was wondering if this is normal? I had the rear 5 windows done (have a 5 door). However the rear quarter windows seem to have a white line round the edges willl post a pic shortly.

I wasn't sure if this would fade maybe after a week? I have had cars tinted before without problems but were done by a different company.

Hope someone can help

Looks normal to me. You might be able to press the film down a bit more over the dot matrix bit after a week or so when the film dries out. The milky bit is Ford's piss poor attempt at good quality glass, or it will be the sealer that's discoloured.

normally the bit round the edge inprooves after a few days of drying out and its a case of just running your finger round it now and again, those dots simply make it awkward for it to edhere to the glass snuggly
