Question Thos that have their rear window tinted

Do you guys get a glare at night from lights (headlights, streetlights, etc.) when you look through the rearview mirror?
It looks like the light is spreaded out between/through the defrost wires.

I have 35% tint on the back, the guy that did it says that its regular black tint, non-metallic. I am going to go talk to him this friday and want to know if its something you get when you get your rear window tinted.

Any comments would be useful,
Thanks.

I have 15% black with metallic tint. I have no problem with glare at night, but the light from cars behind me seems to take on a more golden color.

It's not that much of a problem, the only thing I fear about the tint if it will interfere with the Passport 8500. (I wil have more details on Friday).

I wouldn't call it a glare. It's more of a diffusion.
