That's normal. As time goes by, two things will occur:
1. The moisture under the tint will dry and the tint will bond closer to the glass, this causes the distortion you're seeing to minimize substantially; unfortunately it never disappears completely.
2. You get acustomed to the slight distortion so quickly that you'll forget that it was there in the first place.

chinee is right on the spot. Defroster lines are layed onto the glass, which then pushes the tint up causing light refraction. This glare effect is most noticeable at night. However, I've seen in some cases where it's just horribly bad because of installation methods. In these cases a lot of water was still trapped between the film and the glass, which compounds the refraction when headlights shine at it from the rear.

hey!
that's exactly my problem...WIL....so this is normal? I cant see the distortion when there is no light behind me, or if im not under the sun, etc....but when im out in the sun or if there is a car's headlight flashing behind me...i can see all these distortion that looks like little wrinkles? exactly how bad is the horrible cases?
thanks

 

It takes about 36hrs to settle..If ur are still seeing this, den you need to get it replaced..

I have not had tat problem..the only problem is that the auto dim mirror doesn't work as much anymore..

I'm not sure what you mean by "wrinkles".....if it's exactly what you say it is, then it's actually a crease........film somehow got damaged during the installation process.

As far as the light refractions, this is normal, but shouldn't be excessive. If it becomes a problem seeing at night, then most likely, they didn't do a good job of squeegeeing the water out.

Just had my Coupe tinted last Saturday with 35% Llumar Platinum Plus. The installer here in Orlando was recommended by a forum member. This installer was nothing short of perfection. No bubbles and took the tint right over the dot matrix with no problem. He spent 4 hours installing it like it was his own. Now I know why he does high-end vehicles in the Orlando area. Absolutely awesome!

I just saw your request, but I won't be able to post them until I get home from work tonight.

I've been using Irfanview for the first time to resize the pictures and I'm still learning how to use it.

Stay tuned and I'll try to resize them tonight to make larger.

Another resized pic.

This tint was carried all the way up over the dot matrix. It looks perfect!
