Did i read some where that adding tints to element heated screens can cause problems with the heat from the element (rear screen).

      Tints on the front are NOT illegal if they allow a certain amount of light through, which you know, so I don't know why you keep on saying tints on the front are illegal. I think you are being pretty

    You will get a few bubbles at first for a day or so due to the film needing to dry out, any good tinting company will replace the film or money back if there are bubbles after a week or so, another good thing with tints that are filmed (some are dipped if you spec priv class from factory) the film holds together the class in a car crash situation resulting in less chance of being blinded and saving time for you local highway agency clean up time, everyone's a winner
