Hello, I got my car windows tinted. I’m the back windshield, I see car reflection lights like this. Anyone else have this issue? This isn’t from my car but this is exactly what happens. I can take a photo from my car if that makes a difference. Thanks!

Probably better with a picture from your car. How long ago did you get tint done? If its fairly recent there will be some haze. If you had it professionally installed, your installer should have told you it might be like that for a few days after. If it still looks like crap after, I'd take it back to them.

Yeah, it’s 10 degrees outside lol so I didn’t wanna go out today. I’ll post a picture tomorrow but it’s essentially the same idea. It was installed about 1 month ago lol. I texted him and he said he’ll take care of it. But was wondering if this was an issue with someone else?

I have my windows tinted, the hatch looks a lot more clear than that. After that long, definitely have them fix it.

It takes a few warm days sitting in the sun for the moisture under tint film to fully evaporate. It doesn't sound like that will happen soon.
