Default tint question

So I decided it was finally time to tint one of my cars. Went through the three days of not opening windows and wasn't sure if it's right now that i have. Maybe, I'm just nit picking, but the top of the window has like.2mm of space between tint and window, while it's more like 1mm after the slope down towards the front. Am I just being a whiney bitch or should I have them re-do it. will try to post a pic in a few when my GF brings the camera home

Default the place prolly did the work Free hand not computer cut so i think .1mm difference around the top,

isnt to bad. some people are really good and u cant tell and computer cut machines can get the perfect slope.

Just being picky ;-)

If they were good, there would be NO gap. I used to run a high-end tint shop :-).

the gap is to keep the tint from peeling later on

Default Its not even the gap that bothers me. It's the difference in the gap between front and back

of the window. I think i'm gonna have it done over.
