Window Tint peeling issue

I had that issue with my passenger window tint even that I don't even roll the window down. The shop took care of it a week ago. So far no problems.

That's how my guy did it. I watched him meticulously custom cut the tint for each window. The guy's pretty cool, especially for letting me hang around to help and watch.

Even with my 370 when I had the reversing sensors installed they broke off clips in the back. I could hear the broken bits flying from side to side when taking a corner.

Luckily, I was able to take off the panels for the guy because he knew my windows had that window feature when opening and closing doors. Good thing I did, because I found a loose bolt that Nissan never properly placed when they did some work on that door.

The guy that did mine just disabled the window mechanicism so the window stayed up. So far no issues when it was redone. About two months now.
