My tint isn't like that in the back, but did they tell you to expect things like that at first? While it cures? I had tiny air pockets and things of that nature for a little while, but they eventually went away on their own. But that does look kind of extreme. It can't hurt to take it back and ask about it.

Atlantic Shoreline in VB told me turning on the rear defroster would help to speed the curing process. As well as letting the car sit in the sun.

you're not susposed to wipe it for a few weeks with anything, and not roll the windows down for 3-5 days. where did you get it done?

jesus christ, leave the shit alone for 3 days, dont roll the windows down for 2 sunny days or 3 cloudy days. the shit you see on the back window CAN be squeegee'd (sp?) out by a professional, DO NOT attempt to do it yourself because youll only make things worse and im pretty sure you didnt pay for a half ass tint job, so let them do there job.

They told me the same thing on many cars and I have had no issues with tint.
