Windshield tint with satellite radio antenna?
I went to a window tint shop today to talk about putting tint on my windows. I asked him about putting a strip across the top of the windshield, but he saw the satellite radio antenna and said it would look very bad if he tried to cut the tint to fit around that. He said he'd have to take off the antenna and it wouldn't go back on well, plus the signal would suffer. I'm curious if he's just lazy, or is what he's saying true? Does anyone have tint on their windshield along with the satellite antenna?

that isa valid possibility... reception could be lowered and he is right about the taking it off and not sticking well after putting it back on.... IMO i would probably do it anyway and use really strong weatherproof 3m tape on the back of the antenna when you reattach it and I would not go too dark on the strip.... if you do it post pics bc i was thinking about doing the strip and can picture it looking as good as I want it to

What is your opinion on putting 35% tint all over the windshield with no strip?

I've been in cars with and without that tint strip. IMO, it's a waste if you get it. If you're doing it because of the sun "blinding you," then that's what sun visors or even sunglasses are for.
Just go for the sunglasses, dude.

windiw tint will effect some cars if it has a elemental (window installed) antenna. BMW 3 series were notorious for signal problems with AM and FM signal. an external antenna would be a better bet
