so my GF got me a gift certificate to a shop to get my tegs windows tinted...i went today and they said because i have stock tint on the back windows if they remove it it may mess up the rear defroster? is this true and is it not worth it? i asked and i can get a store credit on any parts if i decide against new tints. so if i dont get the tints i may order an oem type r lip

thanks

So you already had tint on? When I got mine tinted I didn't have any tint...everything works fine. The only thing that sticks out is those stupid black dots.

Right now the back three windows are tinted. but it is the purple colour and i wanted to get some dark black to go with the dark car. so i asked if they could remove the old tint but they said it will destroy the defroster

If they remove the old tint, it could rip the little metal wires out of the window. Then your rear defroster wont work.
