I just got my windows tinted 30% all around with 3M non-metallic film. Looks very nice.. I like it

Now, I have a question to ask to those who have their windows tinted.
I was driving at night, I looked at my back-mirror to see the cars behind me, then I noticed the headlights from other cars looked blurred through the rear window. Not only they look blurred, they have some sort of reflections of each of those stripes (those wires for defogging). I'm wondering whether this is expected to see from tinted rear windows or it's due to improper installation of the film.

 

My Lexus had 20% 3M non-metallic tint...it wasn't blurry but there was the reflection of light between the heat strips on the rear windshield

 

Don't worry about it. Mine was like that for a few days until the glue and everything dried. After that, it was normal.

 

i had the same exact issue when i first tinted my windows and i posted the same question here.

at first it would be blurry but after a while it will go away, as of the light reflection of those heated straps that is going to be there forever. you will get used to it in a bit, just like i did.

 

hmmmm don't really want to get used to this kind of issue..
i'm trying to see if it's normal issue over all tints or just a film issue or my installer did a poor job...

 

It's normal issue with all tints. I noticed the same thing like everyone else here when my car was first tinted. It won't be as bad once it cures.

 

Just relax and give it a few days. It will go away. Don't panic.. haha. BTW what interior do you have and do you have any pics?

 

I agree with everyone here. The film and glue need to settle and then things will clear up. You will get the same effect after a long time with the Tint, which means the Tint is degrading and needs replacement.

 

I just got mines tinited last friday ..10% too..but i dont seem to have that problem?

 

Here are some pictures

 

Hahahaha...I'm laffin' at your avatar! I just noticed who that was! Why did you pick him, because he got busy with the queen?

OP: In my experience with tints, that goes away after awhile. I haven't done this present TL, but I did the previous one.

 

we have the same exact car or what..mine is also nbp with all arount tint but at 35% instead, with mudguards, no front plate..

ours look identical from the outside....can i use those pics if ppl ask for my car's pic?

 

yea.. i don't mind
