Now we seem to be having a problem with radio reception all of a sudden (it was fine the first 2 days we had tint) I beleive the antenna is in the top middle of the windsheild where that dot matrix is correct? :dunno: Well we have a 20% strip on the front windsheild… could that be the problem? if so is there any way to fix it? ---

🤣 this is odd… we seem to have perfect reception when the rear defroster is off, but as soon as it’s turned on it becomes fuzzy… :dunno: i may just buy an antenna booster and get her XM since its “XM ready” ---

i am definatly going to ask him, weve never had any problems before so im real curious, cause if this is a result of the tint i want to make sure it never happens again, and replace the tint thats on there so the fm reception is normal again. if this is our fault than i am truely sorry and we’ll get it right. and if its not ill still do research and try to figure out what happened. Over 200 cars tinted at my place since i opened and I have never heard of 1 (except yours) that did this, and yours is the 3rd new civic that we tinted. I called the other 2 guys and they said theres is fine, and they never had any problems. maybe after the tint fully cures to the window it will be alright again, :dunno: ---
