Anyone try to get rid of the little plastic dots in the rear window? The windows are a bear to tint and the little dots dont allow the material to adhere very well around the edges. Help. :pepper:

An even easier way is to leave the dot matrix untinted and put adhesive black vinal on the inside on the untinted part.

This is what my tint guy does on all his cars. It looks great!!! You can't even tell that the dots are they on mine. Very clean look!!!

Or you can also tape off and paint all the black dots a flat black. Looks better than the vinyl and never has a problem of coming off.

Yes, I did it myself. I have no pics, but will try to get some this weekend.

Just flat black spray from, say walmart works great.

Mask it off w/ masking tape and papertowels. This is the key, you have to mask well to get a good spray, obviously.

Like all the others said, do the black vinyl. I have a strip on the outside to cover the dot matrix and it looks pretty good.
