A google search seems to show it’s a common problem. Many types of cars and tints. Not sure if I want to take it off or not. Not as bad as yours, may e I’ll get used to it, and most of my driving in during the day. |

Aaargh, thats the same as mine dude !!!
If you take it off, the clarity is astonishing, I am really happy I did. You may want to give it some serious consideration, as the longer you leave it the more chance it may harden on those demister lines and then if you decide to remove it , the demister lines may go with it. Then I am assuming its a new rear windscreen ....aargh The tinter told me he has had cases where its come off. So my thinking was the sooner I do it while its fresh , the less chance of that occurring. I don't really want to compromise my night driving experience , its such a lovely car. |

Now that my rear tint is off I will drive it a bit and see how I feel. At the moment i am just happy to drive at night and be able to see clearly. Rear tint does make the car look more mysterious and stealthy though , it is a nice look. |

Okay, I picked up my car today. I got the 3M 50% front 35% rear. First things first, as far as the dimming is concerned, I do see slight dimming but not enough to be a problem. Tonight I took the car for a drive to see if I have the same reflection issues. I must say I do have a slight problem but not enough to concern me or consider it dangerous. I’m not sure if it will improve given it has only just been applied but either way I’m okay with how it is. Seems like it not as bad as you guys have experienced.

Yes would be good to hear if you have any issues, then if not later I can take a leap of faith and get back on the tinting bandwagon |

I checked our Subaru Outback tonight which also had a window tint recently. It also has slight issue with refraction but I had never noticed. It’s not quite as bad as the BMW and it’s a different brand of tint altogether. I think all cars will suffer to varying degrees. One thing that I noticed that makes the BMW worse is the fact the demister lines are much thicker and there are more of them.

Tomorrow the installer will come over and "do some tests" on the tint. He says he wants to determine if the problem is with the car or the tint. Think demister lines could be the issue.
So with a bit of luck I'll have some useful info to share soon. |
