Here too, tinters melted it with a heat gun and it bubbled. They bought me a new set and installed it. They gave me a 30% discount because I had to come back. Go to someone who knows what they are doing.

I just did mine few weeks ago and they used heat gun on exterior window to form curvature on the tint so they could easily be installed, especially for the rear window.

I think it's okay as long as you tell the tinter and get a confirmation that if something happens, they will replace the damaged parts.

The result? I love it!
