tint question

I was wondering if the defroster ruins or shortens the life of the tint on the rear windshield?

It shouldn’t be a problem.
I’ve had every car I’ve owned since 1985 tinted and I never had a problem with the tint OR the defroster.
Just be sure to go to a reputable place to have it done.

yeah i had tint on my civic for 4 years and used the rear defroster quite often, and nothing ever happened to it.

i have tint on my 3000gt right now, use the rear defroster, nothing is wrong with it
