Windows tinting
My '03 Accord's (probably all Accords) windows have no tinting at all.
There's lots of sun where I'm in. A colleague had tinting applied to the rear windows professionally. I think a film is applied to the inside. The quality seems pretty good. I've also seen on the road many such treated windows with air bubbles all over. I assume these people did the job themselves. What's folks experience with this? Does having this done void any warranty on the car, such as the rear window-defrost? Would this cause the rear windshield to overhead when the defrost is turned on? RM |
Re: Windows tinting
It does not void the warranty if it is applied correctly.
The embedded heating element still will work correctly. There is a slight danger of damage to the heating elements in the back window when it is applied (cut them when trimming the film) and an even bigger danger if it ever has to be removed (rip them off). There is a trick to it and you want to have it professionally done. Usually the tinting is advertised with a lifetime warranty. Make sure you get it in writing, because the films last five-seven years max. You will have to go back if you keep the car any longer than that.
