Tint problem :(
I got my new 350 sport on thursday(5/10) of last week and I got my tint installed on Tuesday (5/15). I've had problems with it ever since. I had a noticeable gap on both of the passenger side windows and I went back to get the redone. The installer fixed it, but on the rear window of the passenger side there's bubbles. Yes, I know it goes away after a few days, but those bubbles have little pieces of lint in them. There's like like 7-10 bubbles with lint in them. I'm pretty sure the bubbles won't go away now because of the debris that's in them, but correct me if I'm wrong. Also, on the driver side passenger window where the little window is, there's a gap again. I didn't notice it till today and I'm furious. I don't feel like going back to those guys again because they were rude and I don't want to keep going back to get them fixed because they're not done right. I can either go back and cross my fingers it'll get fixed or find a better tint place to fix it. The problem with finding someone else is that the tint film they use may be different so it'll be different shades on the inside. So I have to get my whole car redone. What do you guys think I should do?
Here's a pic of the driver passenger side window where the gap is:

I'm looking at the upper-left corner of the window in your pic and it looks pretty sloppy. They do have places that use laser cut templates so the tint fits your window perfectly. If all the "white dust" looking stuff is actually bubbles, I'd say you should take your car to a reputable place and have it totally redone. Best of luck to you.

It looks like your window wasn't thoroughly prepped and cleaned before placing the tint so that's why those tiny particles of lint were trapped.
Bubbles that are the size of a pencil eraser should disappear in a few days to a week depending on your weather conditions and if your car is parked under direct sunlight.
Just have them redo your tint job since most tint shops warranty their work for at least a few years. If your not fully satisfied with the third and end result then maybe you could at least get a partial refund and bring your business somewhere else.
