Damaged or peeling tint can expose adhesive that heats up and becomes sticky. Any leftover tape residue from duct taping your window closed will also become hot and sticky. When operating your window up and down, this adhesive will cause the window to stick as it operates. This additional sticking puts unnecessary pressure on the regulator as it goes up and down and will eventually cause your window regulator to break again. If your tint is not replaced or the adhesive is not removed properly, your window may likely break again and cause a ripple effect that can potentially damage other door components like the window motors, switches, etc. Therefore, if we see damaged tint or adhesive on the window, we will ask you to replace it or remove the adhesive before we are able to warranty it. If you have questions about whether your tint would need to be replaced in order to receive the warranty, please send our office a picture of your tint or stop by our shop and we’d be happy to advise you ahead of time. **Tint referral can be provided upon request
