Seeing this in my rear view at night is driving me insane. Just got 50% all around (i will admit it wasnt the highest quality tint/place) all the side windows came out perfect and the back looks great too but at night i see a shit ton of vertical distortion in the rear windshield. If theres like several cars behind me it makes the windshield pretty much useless.

Is this normal?

Would it be better if i took my car to a high end tint shop and had em just redo the rear window?

And if i used a dif brand tint would it look weird and out of place with my sides?

I painstakingly labored for hours in order to create this to show what it looked like but i googled tint distortion and found a good pic afterwards too =/

 

It could be that the tint just needs more time to cure/dry. Leave the car out in the sun for a few more days and it should take care of it.

 

^werd.


it needs to dry for a little whle longer.

I experienced the same fuzzy/blurriness

 

Same here. I think its just the way the tint is sitting on the glass and the defroster lines. Give it some time to cure further and it should lessen.

 

+1 to all the replies. whoever did your tint should have told you this

 

i mean, they mentioned blurryness, and the blurryness went away after a few days, its not so much blurriness as it is this weird vertical light distortion over the defroster lines.

I guess ill just hope it cools out over the next week

 

Sorry, we would have responded earlier but we had scheduled today's BMW circle jerk for midnight. Glad someone was able to answer after we were done.

 

dont forget the mazdas and GTIs

my opinion stands on the topic of cars

 

 

Give it some time and make sure you leave the car outside in the sun for a few days so it dries the tint onto the window

 

It never goes completely away.

You'll get used too it.

 

Yeah, you can still see some reflections where the lines are from the window heater, but i dont even notice it anymore

 

Time to step up and get rid of that POS Acura, OP. It's about time you stepped up and got a GTI or an M3.

*faps at the mere thought*

 

Annoyed the hell out of me when I first had a car tinted but now I have become used to it. It's normal when you get tint

 

bingo

 

Odd. Mine definitely do not look like that Killer. Give it some more time. Did you park the car outside to let the heat cure the tint?

 

I haven't had a problem like that using Huper Optik.

 

^ this stuff is great!

 

No? HO was pretty bad for me, until it dried.

 

hWHAT? You may need to get your head checked. By someone qualified to check your head.

 

No, LOL.

It goes out for rides, and then into garages at school and at home

maybe ill leave it out wednesday in the hot new jersey sun.
thanks for the heads up yo

tyrone, i see you pimp

 

Wat? Maybe it's installation that contributes to vertical distortion rather than product? IDK I'm no tint expert.

Yeah, by that dood with the 550. But then Justin might get buyer's remorse for his tint and ask us if he's got "mental issues."

 

lol!

 

Jerome. you cool, man. you, cool.

Doc Rick, I think I am mental. if I bought a lesser known tint, maybe I wouldnt be so mad.

 

whats the tintiest tint money can buy?

pinnacle tint?

 

tintiest????????

doc rick, stogie and myself all have Huper Optik and it blows regular tint out of the water.

 

I've got Solar Gard on my car, my sisters' cars, and my dad's trucks. Excellent quality and no issues with blurriness, color change, etc. Local tint place in Modesto does great work with excellent prices.

 

The HO actually improved my credit rating and regrew hair I was losing.

 

 

HO...apply directly to the forehead

 

I just had my tints (35%) done on monday May 31 and I have the same problem. The tint place I went to were highly recommended by a local car club.

I think it needs more time to dry just like others have said.
