Will the rear window defroster wires be pulled off when removing the tint film?

[DiChase]

If the quality of the tint film is poor, the defroster wires may be pulled off during removal. Therefore, extra caution must be taken when removing the rear window tint film. Otherwise, the defroster wires adhered to the glass may be torn off along with the film, causing irreversible damage. In such cases, the entire rear window defroster wire assembly would need to be replaced. The defroster wires are located on the surface of the glass and can be felt as raised lines when touched. Operating Temperature: The operating temperature of the rear window defroster wires is relatively low, and their heating effect is somewhat limited. If bubbles appear in the tint film, there are typically two reasons: either the film quality is subpar, or the installation technique was poor. Film Quality: Given the wide variety of automotive tint films available, with significant differences in product quality, the true quality of a film can only be determined over time. In most cases, bubbling occurs due to the adhesive aging too quickly, resulting in insufficient adhesion and peeling. This issue is generally not directly related to the rear window defroster wires.
