Window Tint and Rear Defrost...

Is this a bad thing to turn on the rear defrost when you have the rear window tinted???????

Nope, Once youve waited 24hrs for the tint to dry up, you can turn on the rear window defroster.

I heard if you have the metallic reflective tint, that if you turn on the defroster, it'll mess up the tint.

That's just what I heard.

It helps dry out the bubbles of air/water in the tint when it's first put on.
