The Wrench Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 if the warmer coil is in fact behind the factory tint which is peeling off? source a replacement clean used window. money can be saved by removing them both yourself (your car/parts car). and only paying a pro to put the good one back in. dig around, not as hard as it seems if a pro does the last steps for you.

sha4000 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 You have probably damaged the rear defroster already. Best course of action is to take it to a professional tint place and see what they can do. This is one of the dangers when applying tint to rear windows. How long has the tint been on there?

sha4000 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I received your pm 49 Ghost and As far As I know The LS never came from the Factory with tint that you can remove. The slight tint in the glass from the factory is built into the glass and has a code that you need to use when ordering replacement glass. Now the dealer might have put tint on the glass when they sold it but it's not factory tint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sha4000 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 The 400s in the states don't come with any removable tints on the windows as far as I know and mine most certainly did not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exhaustgases Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 This is why not to tint the windows. Any factory tints are added to the glass mix as far as I know. Any tint that is peeling is something someone wasted the $ to have done. And in the end someone gets stuck especially with the rear window heating elements, bye bye heated rear window. I will never ever tint a car I care about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
