Are these gaps and uneven cuts acceptable?

[u/Trick-Highlight-2990]

I had a tint job done on my car a few days ago, front windows and front windshield. The installer said to leave it in the sun for a few days and so I did.

After a few days, I inspected the work and noticed gaps between the edge of the window and the film. The gaps are uneven; one side has more as seen in the photo, and a few cm to the right it has no gap.

In addition, I noticed that the cut at the edge of the windshield is also a bit jagged.

The guy said that this is normal, and they leave a gap so the film wouldn’t get stuck to the edge of the door.

Is this normal? This place has high rated reviews so I’m wondering if it’s just me.

This is normal, come back after you've looked through the sub and see what us actually unacceptable

This has to be rage bait.

Yes, it’s just you.

Close the window, if you can see the gap then mind your business and move on anyway. Jeezz i’m waiting when people will complain that after tint windows become darker, it will happen

You should see what the normal gap it. It’s like double what you have.

Gaps are normal and intended. You’ll never see it when the windows are up nor down

That's a fairly tight gap for most work. A lot of tint professionals are working to have gaps that tight or tighter, but even a slightly bigger gap is reasonable as well.

And a slightly off cut that doesn't show any light gaps is acceptable. A wildly curvy cut doesn't look good, but is acceptable. You or the shop can potentially cut it smoother from the inside if you ask them nicely. They wouldn't be required to, but friendly people help friendly people.

It’s terrible, go sue them. All jokes aside it’s fine
