my tint is peeling!!

Hey guys, very frustrating, but my tint is peeling on my front two windows in the same spot!!! it is peeling on the bottom right corner where the tweeter is located on my drivers side and in the exact same location on my passenger front window. i am going to go back to the place i did my tints tomorow and i am going to make them take everything off and redo it, if not im definately gonna try to get my money back and find someplace else. i dont care if i have to spend a decent amount as long as i get quality work done. does anyone know of any reputable places in the new york/jersey area that can remove only the front 4 windows and do a good job in that and put some quality work in??? please let me know with any suggestions
thanks guys

I once had this with an Audi I had tinted. The guy`s replaced it free and it never did it again. He blamed the tight seals for doing it.

There have been many other threads on tinting - there may be some help back there - Lord knows, some tint places are "here today & gone tomorrow" - I normally ask my dealer and friends for recommendations - if you don't like your dealer, try asking the MB dealer - there are plenty of $$$$$ buyers who add privacy to their vehicles in NJ

Looks like a poor tint install job, when I had my front windows tinted they loosened the door trim to get everthing tucked in pretty good.

IMHO, you should ask for a refund and find a better place.

I agree. Gotta go the extra mile to find a quality tint shop.

I'll add that with professional installation I have never had issue with peeling....ever. Go back as planned.
