I'm sure once the manager sees it, they will fix it. Front doors are quick and easy.

What are we looking at exactly?

Can you take a picture with the door open? It's impossible (for me anyway) to see anything. It looks like a tinted window pressed up against the window gasket...

Gap definitely looks too large... Best of luck on getting it fixed, I took mine off recently but maybe another poster can post a picture of there's that you can use as a comparison to show whoever tinted the windows in case they're reluctant to fix.

Highlighted for you.

OP, if you still want I can take some pictures tomorrow since I'm off. My car is too dirty right now since it's been raining all week and people would talk smack about my dirty car pictures.

Here you go OP. Just finished wiping down my car finally. It's dealership tint I believe, had it on my car since I took it off the lot in 2013.

Take it back and have them redo it. Just my 2 cents!

Why didn't he contact you to let you know they would have to cut a large gap?

Doesn't seem like a dealer in OP's original. Seems like one of those shops that specialize in tinting cars. It would be simple if it was a dealer though since they want to avoid bad rep.

They'll probably say that the weather stripping will mess up the film so they left a large gap to ensure it won't rub off. It's not ideal but I would bet that's the story they'll go with
