You could go to the place where you got the windows tinited, and tell them that they did a bad job, and you want it done properly.

Take the car back....

..to the place that did the work and have them remove that tint and put on a new sheet but this time apply it with a heat gun to help the drying process. And if it's cold where you live it will take a few days for the glue from the tint to dry.

1 Question dhurley, how would you know that it's peeling. You're not supposed to put you're windows down for at least 3 days after the job has been done. The shop may not honor your request.

The shop that did my tint advised against putting any tint on the black stuff that surrounds the rear window. He said it will not adhere. I'll try to borrow a digital camera and post a pic of my rear window. The tint comes within 1/16th of an inch all the way around the black stuff and it looks awesome. When looking at the car you cant see where one ends ant the other begins. the advantages of a $300 tint job with Formula 1 tint.
