Default Wagon Tint

I've not long changed from a sedan to a wagon and have just had the windows tinted, but noticed the tint doesn't go all the way to the rear edge on the rear doors. I queried it with the tinter, who said that because of the angle on the windows, it can't be done. Can anyone confirm this as I think he may be having a lend of me. Thanks.

Ditto. Actually, I think my tint may have been from Bucky's car! LOL.

Maybe that explains why I went out in the car earlier and it seemed very bright. I thought the window was down. Maybe my tint was missing. Damn you JC. Isn't anything safe around these parts :
