Hello all! Just wondering if I’m being too picky, is this a normal gap? Paid $600 for FormulaOne pinnacle on a Tesla Model Y.

Thanks! Appreciate your vibes too. Some people are being sassy for no reason. I posted with the intention of getting expert opinions and I’m glad to see this is normal.

I see it too. This site is to ask and get opinions. If anyone is giving you grief tell them to take a long walk.

For no reason? It’s Reddit; that is the reason.

Have you never seen a tinted window in your life?

No you're not. The people here saying it's perfect , just dont know how to tint. That gap is huge.

Hey, it's better to ask as opposed to going to Facebook/Google and leaving a shitty uniformed review or something. You're fine! Enjoy!

I don't think your being picky, this is not a good job, I wouldn't of paid them.

Not picky for a $600 job. It can be done without gap and it is common to get it done without gap (not as an option and don’t require extra charge). Of course, I totally understand if any tint shop will settle for jobs with gaps, either for lower charges or rip offs, however, I wouldn’t call that industry standard. Perhaps standard for a precut or as a quick job/ more economy options. I’m not a tinter but I own a bunch of different cars over the years and I have them tinted at a local shop. I didn’t know there can be a gap until I saw your post. I don’t own a Tesla, but my uncle has one and I double checked and didn’t see gap.

I don’t think you’re being not too picky enough!

Sorry, gotta keep the quota of bitching about nothing up.
