    For the 5 minutes and $5-10 it would take why not just do it instead of risking a failing tint job?

    I may, but what I'm saying is from what I've seen if its done right then its not noticeable. I have a good friend who has been doing tinting for nearly 15 years, does the best work I've ever seen. Look at any of his jobs and I dare you to find a seam.

    And he overlaps two layers of tint so there is air between the glass and the film at the seam? I don't think so. You lay the tint the other way so there is no seam like that.

    I never said there was not a seam, I said its hard to see. Saying I dare you to find a seam wasn't meant to say there wasn't one anywhere. There is no point in arguing this anymore, you've stated your opinion, I've stated mine.

    I'm telling you no respectable tinter that guarantees his work would ever lay the smaller piece down first. You ever seen a professional tinter lay film over sun dots? If that happens then you have air around each dot...the same thing would happen with the window tint no matter how good the tinter is. The dots need to be removed first or spray tint is used. It's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of logic and common sense. All to save $5 or 10 if not free?

    Look at my blue 96 GT, tinted over the dots and turned out perfect. Ask anyone that saw it. Had several comments on it being the best Mustang tint job they had ever seen. Takes time, but can be done.
