Tint Gap Normal?
I just got my windows tinted on the Mustang, but there's like a 1 cm to 2cm gap on the front side windows from the top and side edges of the glass. Is this normal?

yep, u want to leave that gap for when the windows close. Prevents the tint from getting damaged and peel.

I don't have any gaps. No problems with peeling or scratching.

I've got a gap around mine.

Tint won't get caught in the seal when the window closes.
