Tinted window prob
Went to get my 2000 v6 tinted and dude tells me that rear window has some sort of factory stuff stuck on it ( look like a thousand dots across top, close to roof ) that won't allow tint to stick. So tells me to just tint up tp the dots... you guys know anything about this- or is this rat just a lazy ***?[:@]

Thanks, you kow, that's what he suggested although most stangs seem to be fully tinted. I've honestly never noticed those dots- wonder what ford stuck 'em on there for ?!

And my window tint is lifted in teh corners, but otherwise is fine and it is over the dots.

Yes it can be tinted, but the dots have to either be sanded down, or covered by a vinyle sticker (or whatever you want to call it) so that the tint can be stuck over the dots. Now you can just tint over the dots, but if you don't get every little air bubble out of there it may begin to peel up or suffer serious bubble problems over time.
