rear windshield tint glare in sun
i just got my car a few weeks ago and it gets this weird glare in the sun at times. I wanted to know if the previous owner got a bad tint shop or if this is normal.

I think i know what you're talking about...it almost looks like the glass has leopard spots, right?

I see that a lot...not just on new cars either.

Hard to say from the pictures. It could either be normal (if it looks a bit like bubble wrap) or it could be a bad tint job (if it is irregular.)

If the "bubbles" are more prevalent around the defroster lines or around the adges then it is a tint issue.

Yes it is like that a leopard print. I don't see any bubbles, just spots under certain lights.
