problem with rear window tint?
I just got my Maxima tinted with 35% FormulaONE Pinnacle, front and back. The film hasn't filled in completely in the rear window around the defrost bars. There's a tiny little gap between the defrost bars and the tint. The problem is when driving at night the light from the headlights behind me will catch in that gap and the tint will actually reflect that light so it looks like a glare. When there are a lot of cars behind me that glare can fill up the whole window. Does anyone else have that problem? When I got the tints done the guy mentioned the new Maxima has thicker defrost bars and the tints have trouble filling in all the way but eventually it would fill in. It's been about 5 days now since getting them. Should I take my car back to have the rear window re-done? Or is this just the way it goes? If it comes down to keeping tints and driving with a glare in my back window or no tints at all, i'd rather have no tints. Shame...I spent over $300 on them...

Just did 15% all around and 40% on the windshield, still a lot of light. I wish I did 5% rear window and 35% windshield. The perfect mix for VEGAS sun would be 15% sides, 5% rear and 35% up front.

Hey everyone,
I'd like to tint my Maxima (it's Precision Gray) but don't want to (a) go too dark and (b) get stopped by the cops for the tint.
I live in L.A. does anyone have any advice for:-
1 - Tint percentages. I think a slightly darker tint on the back would look cool (like the Murano comes with from the factory)
2 - Recommendations on someone in the L.A. area that will do a good job on the tinting without costing the Earth!
How much roughly does it cost to tint the car? My old Infiniti G35 came with a tint, it feels strange to drive a non-tinted car!
Thanks in advance for any advice. I can't open a thread to ask this elsewhere on the forums!

35% is what i went with all around. It looks dark especially with the rear shade up. I personally wouldnt go any darker in nyc. I had 35% on my last car for 3 1/2 yrs no problems. I will take pics later on....

A friend of the family is NYPD in Queens and told me when i was talking to him that 70% is legal as well, meaning you have to be able to see through 70% of the car. He said they usually dont bother unless they can't see through at all or real dark, meaning 20%-5% and there doing something wrong to cause attention. Please keep in mind about 30-40% of the cars i see driving have tints darker then 35% from what i can tell. I dont think its a major issue at 35%-40%, then again my friend has 20% and never has any issues. Its all about the cop and other things ect....
