Tinting Rear Window makes rear defroster reflect headlights



Custom Search



Real Deal
I just had my 2006 Accord (4dr sedan) tinted with Solarguard 35% all around. Now I have alot of distortion on my rear glass. Headlight reflecting on rear defroster lines. Extremely annoying!!! It looks like a million lights when I look through the rear view.
Anyone else having this problem??? Do I need to take it back to the Tint Shop?
Thanks!!

If you want tint-this is the result. dunno.gif Not anything the tint shop can do!sorry! gasp.gif
Real Deal
Do you know anyone else who has had this done on an 06 Accord and not had this problem?
TINTDESIGNZ
Its not the 06 honda-its any car with a defrost.
Real Deal
I have 2 friends. One with a Civic Si and one with a Scion and both have rear defrost and both tinted by not this problem. Could having darker tint help them on this??
TINTDESIGNZ
Darker film should help-but it will not totally eliminate the glare of the lights.How dark are your friends cars?
Real Deal
15% on the Civic Si and 17% on the Scion
TINTDESIGNZ
Maybe the defroster lines are thicker on the honda-causing it to glare more.But trust me-unless the defroster is in the glass instead of on the glass -you will see this.Darking it up may help- dunno.gif
Real Deal
Thanks for the info!!!
Sorry, for the stupid question!
TINTDESIGNZ
Not a stupid question-just a problem that doesnt reallly have a solution! beer.gif See what your tinter says... orngbiggrin.gif






For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
