Just tinted 30% ceramic tint today and the glare is bugging me. I'm hoping it will eventually go away? I feel like the film isn't fully tight around the defrost lines (like there is air above and below as you can see in photo) and then when light or sun reflection from car behind me hits it, it's extremely blurry.

With any tent, you have to give it a few days to level out. I don't know how many times we've been in class at the dealership and have people complain about bubbles and gaps around the lines like yours in 3 days later in the sun they're all gone. It's probably the case with ceramic as well

So either no one else has this issue, or everyone has the same issue. I'm either going to try to live with it if it's "normal" or I'm going to have all of the window tints removed and deal with the fact that I just wasted money.

Can people with tinted rear windows take some photos at night through the rearview mirror (similar to mine above) and post them here please. I'm seriously reading mixed things, so I am very confused. I just want to know if the refraction is normal, so I can move on with my life 😂.

Every car i've ever had tinted was like that at night.
It's not bubbles, it's the fact that the defrost lines are actually bumps the tint has to conform to...

This is one of the reasons i decided not to tint my 2024...

during the day it's not so annoying, but night driving is much more obvious...

yeah it's pretty bad. So I just need to get used to it, or remove it if it continues to annoy me.
