Default Can anyone post a picture of their door panel?

I just got my tint done today and it seemed like the door panel isn't put on correctly. I told the tint shop and they said nothing is wrong but I am pretty sure the top of the door panel isn't suppose to have such a big gap. A close-up picture between the door panel and the door would help. Then I would have to show the tint shop and they will repair it. Thanks

Why not? I have tint over 5 of my cars at different places in the Bay Area and they took off the door panel.

I don't want this to be a argument between tinting the car while taking off the door panel since there are many thread here that explains it.

They do. At auto mall tint in fremont they took off my panel. They took it slightly off to tint the bottom part of the window.

Most cars you don't take off the door panel unless something is obstructing the glass for instance the tweeter on our cars. Other than that, no need to waste time and take off the panel, unless you want to :/

The glass on the isx50 is actually longer than the window itself. I think the tint person covered the entire window so you can't see the window behind the tint.
