Window Tinting gone wrong.. Part 2 of my horrors
Well as I announced yesterday I got ripped off by steeda with an empty box full of 125.00 worth of nothing.
Last night was window tinting and the local shop around here decided they would overheat my windshield and they put a 8 inch crack in it. However they referred me to there local place of buisness auto shop and they are replacing it for me.

If you aren't good at putting the tint on you will get air bubbles. Heat will help remove them by shrinking the tint. Sounds to me like the people tinting the windows suck.

First things first tint...The tint shop here isextremly reputable and I have been going to them for years, must have been my bad luck, and yes I did have a sun strip put on thats why the windshield cracked. It was about 4 degrees the night I had them tinted.
As for the Steeda problem I have, I have been told I need to talk to erik there and I was given a # for him and have been trying to call him for 2 days, my 3rd streak of bad luck him not answering or is it still part of bad luck #1?? haha...hope all this non sense pans out.
