Window Tint problem

I got my windows tinted and at night, when a car is behind me, the headlight will reflect with multiple beams. The tint shop said it was because the rear windows is sloped in a steep angle and also the defrosted wires are thick and the tint cannot be applied completely flat. Has anyone else with their windows tinted expierenced this problem?

Yes. That assessment has merit...and yes, I've experienced this with two
Llumar films on E320s. The film just isn't pliable enough to envelop the wires
even though they are thin thin. There still exists a small air space surrounding
the wires where adhesion and film/surface contact isn't possible....ergo the
refractive scatter

I have 20% titanium tint on the rear window. If I look closely, about 1 foot or closer, I can see small amout or residual air between the tint an the defroster wire. Is this causing it?
