tinting rear window on 06
I am interested in getting my rear window tinted on my 06 gt. i am wondering from some of you who have had it done; can i use the rear defrosters while having the tint on? with the heat from the defrosters does it some how melt/shrink the tint? just wondering before i spend $200. thanks.

Yes you can still use them. I have 20% on my car and 50% on the windshield. There are some pics in this thread.

I have 20% on my back and sides. No issues with the rear defrost. Backing up at night can be difficult with the 20% if you don't have any lighting around you. I will say that I had 35% on my last mustang and I love the 20% much better.

20% is all good until you get pulled over because of your local tinting laws...
35% is legal in 99% of the US.
The defroster wires get no hotter than the
interior of your stang sitting in direct sunlight
on a hot day...
So if tint was effected (shrink) be heat, the
first hot sunny day with the windows up would
be shrinking everyones tint...

I've got 5% in the rear and 20% on the sides...never any problem with bubbling or anything and I use my rear defroster everyday during the winter months. I also shopped around and found a company that offered tinting with a lifetime replacement deal for $200 so you might want to shop around a little more if that's not the case for you right now.
