Yeah ill give it a thorough check tomorrow when i get back from class. I went to the tint shop, and the boss told me that it isn't the tint. Obviously, he would say that but i dont want to falsely accuse them if i am not certain. Also i know that one can easily damage the grid while removing the tint, but is it likely that it could be damaged during the tinting process? I wonder because they do the measuring and cutting from the outside before placing the film on the inside. I am go to have it checked out at the dealership this weekend.

Mine also works perfectly. (I don't have any tinting done.)

I use to work at a tint shop, if you had any tint removed.... You have to you steam to remove the old tint. Becuse if the use blades they hit the defrost lines in the inside they f**k it up..... You can tell if the hit the defrost line make sure there all even color you be able to to tell if the hit it with a blade or not. Them cutting the tint on the outside doesn't have to do anything with it because the line are in the inside!!!!!!!
