Razor Blade cut at top of Passenger door window!

So Basically today I was just looking around / showing my car to an old friend. and I saw a big razor blade line on the passenger door at the top of the window on that tape. Its from the stupid window Tint guy, what do I do? Can I get carbon fiber to cover it? It really upset me!

Find out the price to replace the trim piece (+ labor), then go there and show the manager the slice mark and what it will cost.

I purposely don't wash customers' cars because I don't want them to accuse me of scratching it while washing it.

Also, if it's a razor blade cut it will be extremely thin and almost straight cut.

I'm also curious as to where it is. Because I'm not sure how they work, but when I work the knife really isn't very close to the paint anywhere. Which is why I'd like to see pictures.

Well I went to the honda where I live and he said it would be a little over 100 dollars. But there is one problem, The car was bought in Tennessee where I am in the summer, and I live in Maryland the other months of the year. So its hard, and who knows if he will pay for it. I have him added as a friend on myspace though, should I send him an email?

Yes well the razor blade is not on the paint, its on the top of the window where the black seal tape is. I will take pictures tomorrow.
