weird tint

so ive had my car for about a year now. when i first got it i went to get it tinted all around. and now i noticed my rear window looks purplish. the thing is that none of the other window are purple and i never wipe the windows with any ammonia products. i do remember my back window looking kinda of bluish before i got it tinted. weird thing is that it only looks purple from the outside. but looking from the inside out it looks regular. anyone else have his problem? im thinking the window color plus tint is making it look purple

Tint Fade?

If so, and it's got one those "Lifetime Warranties", you should be covered.

How much did you spend on the tint? usually cheaper tint uses a dye. Dyes can fade. Hence the purple-ish hue.

What shop did you take it to, in Houston? Most shops carry a lifetime warranty on their work. Dig up the receipt and take it back, homie!
