I recently got a tint job and on the rear window it bubbled up on the top 4ish inches and the company that did it said that it is the way that my 02's window was manufactured.. I was just wondering if anyone has had this problem or if anyone knows where to find a rear window visor?

The coupes have a ceramic dot matrix, that causes bubbles to form no matter what you do. For the most part they should have been able to make it look decent, it just takes longer to press.

Your options are to apply a dark vinyl over the affected portion of the glass, or get a roof spoiler to help distract people from seeing it. I would reommend the AIT roof spoiler on Ebay, think there are a couple left.

word. if your tint guy knows what hes doing, he should be able to do a pretty decent job tinting over the dot matrix. on my old accord, it was done real well and i never had a problem with it. you could also cover it on the outside with a black vinyl strip.​

I've been looking around for visors but have had no look finding them.. Would the roof spoiler be able to make enough of a distraction to take away from it? And what do you mean a vinyl on the outside of the window??

to be honest, a roof spoiler or visor would probably draw more attention to the bubbles.

and vinyl on the outside of the window is exactly what it sounds like...vinyl on the outside of the window. its like a giant sticker, in black to blend in with your tint and cover the bubbles.​

Alright thanks, I'm just looking for something to make it look better than what it is now.
