Windshield Tint Issue

I got my whole windshield tinted 50% about 1 month ago. I'm still experiencing a halo/haze effect around lights (headlights, streetlights) at night. I do have the metal style tint and I been told it takes a little longer to cure. I think a month is long enough. Anyone else have this problem? Or is the normal?

I had that problem as well. I think its part of the metal style tint. I had mine done to about 25%. Took me about 2 months for it clear back up

I have mine at 15% and it doesn't have glare issues because not enough light gets through to glare in the first place

I had 20% on my front windshield. I'm not sure if it was metallic or not but I had some Mexicans install it. Would that mean I had cheap quality? There were no glare issues but after about a month I had smudges on it. It was most likely caused by me rubbing my hand on window because I could not see **** at night.

I had the same issue, but my dad told me about a windshield cleaner that was crazy good.
He said he found it on motherless dot com
Verycheap too.
