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!!

Its not the 06 honda-its any car with a defrost.

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??

Darker film should help-but it will not totally eliminate the glare of the lights.How dark are your friends cars?

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-

Not a stupid question-just a problem that doesnt reallly have a solution!  See what your tinter says...
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.
