VHB tape will remove the inside scratch coat right ?
I don't know if different brands hardcoat is -harder- than others. Back when I had 3M, in at least 2 cars, I've had the fronts redone just due to scratches. Hence, I'm somewhat mindful about the interiors hardhat as such -

Your entire post, is saying I am a difficult customer, and if they accommodate they have a customer for life. Not one time did you mention the half assed work and the shop/forum taking accountability for the shitty install. Point out the exact section where you hold them accountable. I see the section you calling me “difficult” when in fact I’m not difficult. Someone pointing out shitty work isn’t difficult. That person is called intelligent. Once again notice, not a mention or admission of shitty work after I post a pic of a 3” scratch from the installers. Amazing. It’s actually amazing lol. -

Pointing out this, on a $300 windshield, is a picky customer? It’s my only question. Please confirm this is acceptable work for a $300 windshield. -

Is this an appropriate install of windshield tint? My only question. If it’s not, why doesn’t this forum of installers simply say, this is a half assed install? Why isn’t there accountability, but it’s instead, oh we have a homicide hunter client gee whiz I wish he would just don’t mind the 3” gash on this $300 windshield tint and just be happy I did him this favor in the first place? It’s my only question. Why is there no accountability? When will the ship realize shotty work will result in them losing clients? The irony is, 2 weeks before doing this install, the owner set a mass email saying work is slow, I can offer xyz discounts, please send me referrals. And what do you know. 2 weeks later when I sent my cars in, look at the quality of work done. Ironic eh? -

I posted a picture of a 3” scratch on the windshield i posted a picture of dust/something that you can actually feel from the inside with your nail so it’s an obvious issue. The techs who did the installs and fixes all admitted this is not acceptable, while also explaining it would be impossible to have a completely dust free environment which makes sense but DOESNT excuse the specific flaws in my cars. Why do you think it is, installers on this forum can’t admit, yes, it’s half assed work, yes we can clearly see the 3” scratch in the picture, etc? Why is it, ahhhhh must be a Karen, ahhhhh must be a Prada bag, ahhhh. Why isn’t it, someone paid for an expensive tier install, the install isn’t expected to be perfect, but the install performed is DEFINITELY SUBPAR WORK. Why do you think this is? It’s my only question. -

Even the high line shops have a production element operating under the surface that the sales counter has to accommodate. If you're lucky enough to find an independent through referral you'll likely have better outcomes. I've learned to spot the "particular" clients a mile away and organize my schedule accordingly to focus with minimal distractions, which requires more time and is reflected in the invoice. $1500 might seem like alot for two cars. I would have been at $699 plus $399 for the windshield for each car and kept them until I'm sure I got the best work possible, with an open ended delivery time. The positive outcome is more referral work coming from a guy that's notoriously hard to please. (h/t to TG1980.) "If Mr. Euro Car is satisfied, thats got to be a good installer. Price be dammed, that's where I'm going." Because of this I'm usually booked 2-3 weeks forward. Yes, Mr. Prada Handbag is going to be a pain in the arse. If the shop handles this correctly they would have the customer and his referrals for life. These people don't like to change service providers once they find one that can meet their expectations. Charge accordingly and deliver the goods. -

Heat the outside of the glass or park the car facing the sun. It will pull off. Wipe excess reside with isopropyl alcohol. Done. -

Installing a camera that mounts via VHB. I just want to understand if/when I pull it, is it doable without leaving a square (that I have removed off the tint).
