2008 Accord
I just got my windows tinted earlier today and as I was driving home during the daytime, I realized the back was blurrier than usual. I think it's due to the reflection from the rear dash including the speakers onto the rear windows. Is this normal? I don't recall my mom's camry having the reflection so clearly on the back.
Did the tint shop screw up? Is it crappy tint?
Just wondering if other people have experienced this or if i got screwed

I'm not so familiar with tints... but the 08's rear glass is pretty flat, making reflections more probable. perhaps others in here have the same issues

 

I got my 02 accord I had the same situation. I think its due to the tint. After awhile you'll get used to it and forget about it.

 

My 03 has a flat rear windshield too, and I don't see any reflection in the tint. Maybe the type of tint used has something to do with it. I've heard that tint with metal in it, can really effect radio reception.

 

If you just got it done sometimes it will look like it has a haze to it for a day or two.

However with tint on the rear windows it seems to be common to have lights look funny from the defroster lines and the tint laying over them. If it just looks like a haze give it a day or two then go back if it's not better. If it's reflection that may be a issue with the type of tint or the install. What type of tint was used? I'm certainly no expert about tint but have done a fair bit of reading on it. Tintdude.com is good for forums if you want to ask about it over there. BTW is it a really dark tint? The only tint I've had put on stuff is 5% although my truck had around a 35% when I got it. They all seemed to have more reflection of stuff than a non tinted window would. The 5% in my truck really reflects the radio and stuff like that.

 

On newer cars also, the plastics and any treatment solutions you apply to your seats/dash etc will give off/leach a gas that fogs your windows. perhaps you need to clean your windows?

 

i guess i overreacted a little. im used to the reflection and light off every defroster line but in the daytime, the tint is kind of blurry looking. i guess i will just have to deal with it since removing tint is a pain

 

see out it is in a few weeks, the promblem may go away.
