    This is what my tint guy said... however, I don't understand why other Prime owners never noticed this issue? I mean it's quite distracting at night! Defroster lines are the same on all Prime's, so if some folks have no refraction, perhaps the tint film type/quality might be the culprit. I'm confused....!o_O

    Today we sharpened the riding mower blades & changed its transaxle fluid & filter. Regular Spring preparation work.

    @ricomtl, I got mine tinted before I took delivery of the car. Mine was flawless. Perhaps it is the type of film used?

    Tint is a must this day whether you have green glass or not because the UV hurts (My face can feel it during a hot day). Also to cool down the cabin in the summer and our Prime's battery.
