Depende din sa brand ng tint. As the defogger element heats up, it can soften the adhesive holding the tint. Even www.tintdude.com recommends using the defogger when doing DIY tint removal.
On the crappiest brands, the area surrounding the heating elements will not only lose adhesion, it will also lose color. Nagiging parang venetian blinds tuloy. hehehe.

thanks for the reply guys. ill save up nlng ulit so i can replace the tint. i asked the casa again, kasi dito sa ilo2 the ones they install is the US gila tint. (not sure of the spelling). kaso i don't like black tint much, so i said ung silver nalang. so the service person there said that its sunguard daw. i dunno lng if they are really having originals. my agent told me, na no need to add na additional for a different tine, kasi parang freebie nlng yun.
(btw, meron bang mga pekeng tint?)

Gila is not really what you can call a top brand, usually it is sold here in the US as DIY in mini rolls and can be considered quite cheap in US standards. Tinry ko kasi mag DIY (freakin' hard! wasted 60 bucks!), e palpak so pina tint ko na lang sa pro, 220 bucks! .
Recommended nila is llumar, huper optik, pinnacle, 3m, solargard.
Don't have any problem with the defoggers either, di rin ako sinabihan not to use it, in fact Lifetime warranty ang tint dito.

parang us ghila (spelling?) lang iyan... malamang hindi maayos ang pag install or tinipid iyun adhesive...
anyway nangyari na iyan eh ano pa magagawa diyan? no choice, tanging solution eh pa-palitan nalang iyan sa likod sandali lang naman gawin iyan...
tska bantayan mo ang trabaho para makita mo kung maayos ang pagkagawa, baka palpak ulit sayang pera... at whag iyun sa tabi tabi lang tulad ng mga nag lalako sa kalsada... hanap mo iyun may tindahan at canvas ka muna para hindi ka mapamahal...
pag kay misis or girlfriend okay lang iyun pagmamahal pero pag dating sa gastos hindi kailangan ng pag-mamahal mas gugustohin ko iyun mura ng mura palagi... hehehe

August 20th, 2006 09:01 PM #20i would guess ...
it looks like residual marks of some kind of tape that was used to handle the glass or to attach the defogger elements at the factory ... in which case the glass was not thoroughly cleaned at the factory and before tint installation
if the tint have to be replaced, make sure to have the glass cleaned, possibly with a cleaning substance (kerosene? rubbing compound? followed by glass cleaner?) to remove the invisible residue ... otherwise same marks would again appear later even with a new tint
