So when you take a car in for aftermarket tint, are shops required to cut around the brake lamp in the back window or do they just do this because it is a difficult area to access? Is it possible to tint the entire back window without removing the trim and plastic from the back dash/window?
Had my car done recently and it didn't even dawn on me to ask about that so unfortunately they cut around the brake light (looks terrible IMO) and I was curious if this is industry standard or laziness.
From what I read of the motor vehicles act that covers lamps and windows, the rules are about the height of the brake lamp in the window as long as there are other rear tail lights that work.
