Good one.

 

I've got to Grey smoke my beater's windows, hopefully i'll have better luck

 

Indeed.

Sorry, I know a lot of you are sick and tired of reading me complaining by now.

To follow up:

I just had my back window retinted by another shop and I am very impressed with the treatment I received this time. Recall that I did not let the first guy do my back window at all because he's such as *** to begin with and I did not trust his ability to do remove the old tint on my back window.

Anyway, even though I was late for more than an hour (Darn Yahoo map got me so lost that I ended up in the middle of nowhere before I was able to contact the guy and have him provide me directions on the phone), the owner not only politely answered all my questions after I arrived, he also offered me his private office to relax when my car was getting done. The price's very reasonable and the workmanship can be considered top notch. $130 to remove my old tint and tint my back window with Johnson HP film. This was all done in less than 2 hours after they got started.

After my car was done, the other lady (the co-owner) also offered me a free complementary car wash. I would have let them washed my car if it weren't for the fact that it took forever for me to wait until those moisture in my left headlight to dry out.

To sum up, I give my highest recommendation to this shop and if anyone here in the Sacramento area wants to get his window tinted, definitely check this place out. I am sure they're one of the best since I am very picky and before I visited them, I've called almost all the tints shops in this area and pretty much know how they operate/are after I made the comparison for myself.

Here's their info:

Just Tint
7711 Sunrise Boulevard
Citrus Heights, CA 95610
(916)838-TINT

The owners are Emilio Marquez and Kelli Clark

Glad to see a happy ending. I assume your rear defroster still works?

 

Thanks Rushgator.

Unfortunately, it's still a bit too hot here in Sacramento for me to get any kind of moisture or fog in my car at all. Is there a way for me to test whether these lines still work or not without fog in my back window?

When Just Tint removed my old window tint film, no knifing or scraping was involved at all. They used a steam machine to steam my back window and then slowly peeled off the film.

Regards,

Jon

 

At night, when your car is about as cool as it can get in August, turn on your defroster. Then, feel the glass in a few minutes. You should feel warmth if it's working. Thats about the only way I can think of in the middle of summer.

 

Thanks again Rushgator.

I am going to try this tonight and see what happens.
