Tinting and Radio Reception

Before I go and get my windows tinted this weekend or the next, I want to make sure of a couple of things.
Im going to be having it done at Formula One by Mr. Tint in Escondido, CA. Ive heard nothing but good about them and my friends trust them so I do too.

1. The tint is 100% metallic, fade-free bubble-free etc. with a lifetime guarantee on it. Will the metallic tint mess with my radio reception? The guy I talked to said that the new line of tint that I would get is meant for newer cars with satellite radio, radar detectors, etc.

2. After I get the tint done, for the first few days, I know I cant roll down my windows. What about if it rains or if there is heavy condensation? Just park the car in the garage for a few days to avoid that?

3. And finally, with the coupe, the window rolls itself up and down about a half inch in order to compensate for lack of a window frame. How do I get around this so it doesnt mess up the newly-applied tint?

Thank you so much for your help!

i was wondering the same thing... rain wise, just check the weather forecast and get them when its not raining. The window rolling down and up, you have to make sure you tell them. If they are removing your window, when they put it back on, it might not roll down and up because they put it wrong. Radio reception shouldnt be a problem. If anything, your AM is going to get messed up

Why would rain affect the tint any when it is on the inside? You should b ok if you just keep the windows up. I had mines done in 30 degree weather and its fine...
