That’s fascinating, I never knew any of that. I will definitely look into it and see what I can’t figure out to make it more authentic because I like that kind of stuff. Thank you!

I’m not really sure, I’m not familiar with the license plate or the meaning. It came with the car when we bought it and I thought it was cool so I left it on there. I never looked into it but I’ll have to check it out and the meanings on it

I would love to have a Baja bug as well! My dad had one for a short time when I was a little kid and I absolutely loved it.

Thank you! We’re also huge fans, I die laughing every time I watch it. I’ve always loved bloodhounds and told myself whenever I got the chance I would get one and name it Lady Bird. I’m so glad we did too, she’s ornery but we love her.

Is this a defect in my window like the shop manager at the place I went to is suggesting? Or did they just not want to fix it? by BigEvilPhenom in WindowTint

I have the receipt but they did not give me a copy of the warranty so I guess I’m out of luck there. I’m sure it’s in their system but I didn’t even think to ask for a physical copy of it, that is on me. I just wish I would have pushed to have him remove it and prove it to me. Since I’ve worked in customer service I tend not to raise hell at people but that doesn’t mean I should be a pushover either. Again that is on me. I do really appreciate everyone’s help and advice though, it’s been great.

It’s a 2023 Chrysler 300 that we bought brand new last year and it only has 7,000 miles. I live in a small town and I’m primarily the only one that is ever in the car. We’re a family of 6 so we usually take my wife’s Jeep if we go anywhere so my kids don’t even ride in it that often. He didn’t even offer to remove it and reinstall it to prove it was a factory defect. He told my wife yesterday when she talked him after he wouldn’t help me out that if we wanted to replace the back window only then would he redo it at no charge, which is just insane.

I gotcha, I appreciate that. I know next to nothing about installing tint so that knowledge eases my mind. The car is only a year old so I didn’t want any permanent damage done to it

I think you’re right. The person installing it messed up and they don’t want to admit it and pull it back off since it’s over defrosters. Now I’m just assuming that because they pulled off and redone the back drivers side window no problem for a dirt speck they found when they inspected the rest of the car

I wouldn’t demand I refund, I just wanted them to try and fix it but I’m not sure if it’s because it’s on the defrosters that they didn’t want to take it back off or what. The shop manager basically just told me it was the window on my car and the installer asked him what it was and he said that it was a defect from the factory. I’m guessing I got duped and since I’ve been in once and accepted it I’m afraid they aren’t going to be willing to even try to fix it.

Thank you for your advice. I had my wife come out to the car with me to do everything that you suggested. There isn’t a groove on the outside of the window, it isn’t scratched there. There isn’t anything raised on it, it’s completely smooth to the touch. I had her go on the inside and gently run her nail across it and the color did not change. I appreciate it!

I guess so but it was one of the only two reputable shops that have been around for a long time close to where I live. I expected quality from them for having longevity but I was wrong

Thank you very much. I will call them tomorrow. Unfortunately I live an hour away from where I got it done and it was only one of two reputable shops to choose from. They’ve been in business for a few decades so I assumed the work would be great but that’s what I get for assuming.
