Default Hard top window tint

I have a 2012 sport 2dr, was wondering if anyone has tinted the rear window on there hard top? Does it mess up the defrost when its done?

be no different then tenting windows on any other vehicle. you will be fine to get it done. the film sits over the top of the heating coil. the coil doesnt get hot enough to affect the tint.

My 08 has the defroster and i have the windows and rear tinted. It works great, though I don't have much call for the defroster (maybe 2-3 times a year). Just be sure that they are careful putting the wiper motor and power lead to the defroster on carefully or they will twist the tinting and you will see it forever.
