    Took the cheap route on tint last year and now my rear window looks like a melted chocolate bar

    So about fourteen months ago I bought a used Mazda and wanted to get the windows done fast and cheap because I was already stretching the budget just to get the car registered and insured and the guy in the industrial area said three hundred dirhams cash and it’ll be done in an hour which in hindsight should have been a massive waving red flag but I was hot and impatient and just wanted it done. Fast forward to now and the rear glass is a bubbled up purple mess that makes everything in the rearview mirror look like it’s being viewed through a funhouse distortion filter and the film on the driver window has started peeling right at the corner so every time I roll it down I hear this little scratching sound that makes me want to scream. I finally decided I’m just going to pay to have it stripped and redone properly this time because I can’t stand looking at it anymore and I’ve been searching for places that do actual Professional window tinting Abu Dhabi with the good films that won’t turn my car into a mobile disco ball of bubbles and purple haze after one summer. My only hesitation is that I’ve heard the removal process can sometimes mess up the rear defroster lines if the person doing it isn’t careful and I really don’t want to lose that functionality right as we’re heading into the humid mornings where every window fogs up the second you start the car so I guess I’m asking if anyone has had old tint stripped safely without damaging the heating elements or if that’s just a risk you have to accept when you made a bad choice the first time around.
