You're right about the dot matrix window edges though I think I might have found a mitigating trick.
Within 24 hours of the tint being applied, I parked it in the sun (as recommended) and when the film got more tacky, I was able to use my fingers to squeegee out a lot of the bubbles. It's not perfect, but is a lot better than when I first received my car back from the tinters.
I love manuals too - but tend to do too many silly things when I drive them. One of my other cars is non-metallic black and I love that colour to bits... when it's clean. So much so I have to wash that car too often and decided to avoid my insanity with this car!
