  1.    Bham reacted to a post in a topic: Tinting a 2nd hand screen issues

    I think ultimately it will be both cases. My issue is can I trust the tinter to remove the tint without damaging the heat lines? He seems pretty confident that he can, but I've been burnt so many times now I don't really trust anyone

    Yh i guess you are right, however I have noticed marks in the tint which resemble a hair, meaning not cleaning could be the answer. I'm going back to tint shop to discuss the options and take it from there. Thanks for the help

    Yh i can can accept the fact that it may have the weld marks, i bought it cheap and 2nd hand so you get what you pay for. But I can't accept if the screen wasn't clean before the tint was laid. He tinted the glass outside of the car, in a dirty environment, so it was more exposed to dust and dirt compared to inside the car. If he cleaned it then walked away for a few mins, thats what could of caused a lot of the bubbles.

    He claims that he could remove the film without damaging the lines are as his tint is "high quality", so it's easier to come off. I'm in the process of seeing if he would remove the film, clean the screen, and place a new film on again. Being inside the car this time, if there is any marks, that it would eliminate the chances of dirt or contamination to a lower level compared to tinting the glass outside the car.

    Yh I believe that was the point he was trying to make. My theory is that it could be the case that there welding debri on the glass, however as I took the glass as a separate piece to him, I think he's cleaned the glass, but no put the tint on straight away. The garage is pretty old and dirty, so being exposed to that air and dust may have gone onto the glass before he's put it on. If the glass was inside the car when putting it on, I don't think it would look that bad.

    Morning guys Could do with some advice. Recently bought myself a Mercedes C Class C180 2014. Went and got it tinted, but found a hair, took it back and they re-did the tint, however in the process ruined the defroster lines. Bought a spare screen at a junkyard which had all the wires and defrost lines in tact, took it to get it tinted to another place, and the man tinting is claiming that the tint will have bubbles from having "rust spots" due to the screen sitting around in the scrap yard. My question is, is there such a thing as "rust spots" on a window? Or has the guy just not cleaned the screen properly? He claimed to have cleaned it multiple times but didn't want to damage the defroster lines. I've attached some media for reference. Any help is gratefully appreciated.
