F01 window tint

So I was walking by my GM's car this morning and saw there was a gap on the rear door window where the tint guy could not get in there to tint the windows.... Has anyone else found a fix for this? it kinda looks like uber SH!T for this car... i will try and snap a pic in my travels.

Update: the car has been sold and the new owner would like darker tint.... the door was taken completely apart and the windows were removed for tint...... this would not be fun for a tint shop.......
