How well would this work on a tinted window? And/or would the window tint affect anything?

I will try this one more time I don't know if you got my other response or not I mounted yes on the front windshield of my motorhome there is about 5 to 6 inches of tainted Wind shield that it is mounted on it has worked extremely well for what I need it ranges anywhere from 3/8 to half of mile between motorhomes it Will not work on a double pane window

Tinted windows should work. I have not tried it myself on a tinted window but user reviews on other sites suggests that it will work just fine.

The tint of the window has no bearing on the reception or the ability of the antenna to be adhered to it.

It did not work well on a non-tinted window. We would not purchase this item if we knew what we know now; or recommend it to anyone....

You're can use a blow dryer to heat the tint as you put it on. And you'll need something to smooth it on there. I would recommend you have someone that's done it before do it. It's hard to do it nicely if you've never done it.

The tint may contribute to received signal loss. In general it will not perform as good as a directly connected antenna via a RG58 cable. On a rear window with defroster wires it will effect the SWR and contribute to Transmitted signal loss.

I put it on my back door beneath the carport works great....... as with any mirror tint, when its dark outside and a light is on inside ...someone can see in. As long as the light is brighter outside all is well.

I have tinted rear windows from the factory and no, they are not scratched when using these door guards. After market tints might be a different situation though.

It's difficult to see behind you at night. My summer car is 20% all around, including approx 1/3 windshield, which made it necessary to install a rear-view camera. I'm not sure how much of a difference not having the front windows tinted would make, but I assume not a whole lot. I recommend going with 35% but nothing less. Twenty to thirty five is a significant difference but %50 seems like nothing at all.

Yes, the tint is about the same as factory window tint. I like mine very much.

To be honest it didn't work well at all. I ended up taking it off. through the glass on cb didn't seem to work. It was on tinted but I thought I might try another one because I hate to cut holes or run through windows but not sure.

I have tinted front side windows and the deflectors have been on for 2 years with no problems with the tint film

It seems as tho it would - I wouldn't think that tint would keep window from breaking ! Not mentioned - hope I never need to find out

no it hasn't when i have tried, it seems to need significant motion to activate so unless you have very thin clear windows i doubt it will work, mine are tinted due to the heat so this may have affected my results

Not at all, window tint is on the inside of glass, these slide up into the track..... shouldn't have any issues with your tint.... GO HAWKS

If the question is to tint the front windshield i DO NOT RECOMMEND IT . The visibility is good for the side windows for sure. Keeps the sun out

I have tinted glass on my Subaru and it works ok...they tend to loosen if you put the windows down

Yes, since the solar panel hangs on the outside of the window, it wouldn't matter if the window is tinted or not.

You could try to use them for the passenger side windows, however you'd need something to keep it in place, that and you would need to find the right size. Still my main advice against this item is the fact that it is very THIN, and it gets very HOT. You're better off getting those side shades that stick to the side window then this, or tinting them.

Hmmm, you may have some issues with it being darker if tinted windows but overall should work.
