Default Black Plastic Trim...

I had my rear windows tinted yesterday and I noticed this morning that the black plastic trim on the b-pillar had melted a bit on the edges! It's the one on the driver side. I don't know if its from the blow dryer they used or what. Anyway, I'm gonna ask my dealer if they can replace it under warranty. If not, I don' t think it will cost that much to replace. It sucks though.

Why should Lexus pay to replace trim that was damaged by your tint installer? I'd think the guy who actually did the work should be paying to fix any damage he caused.

I had my windows tinted and noticed the same thing. However, it was so slight that I wasn't sure whether or not it came that way originally. One other thing, they tinter damaged the inside flat black window garnishs that enclose the windows. He nicked them up with his squegee. I have to get those replaced (his bill). One step forward, two steps back. Story of my life
