auto lighting and wiper system malfunction

jlim0930 · 04-14-2024, 06:28 AM

The dealer had the front windshield replaced and we had the car for few days and did not see this warning but we just tinted the front windshield and now we are getting this warning

Is it from the windshield replacement or the tint ?

I wouldn't have thought it was from the tint, unless you tinted the outside & obscured the sensors behind the rearview mirror...

Please be advised that tinting a full windshield is ILLEGAL in Texas. You can only tint above the manufacturer's AS-1 line (top 5" of windshield) and must keep that tint under 25%.

Considering it only happened after the tint, that is the most likely culprit.

Ask tint if they removed the mirror clam shells and maybe disconnected the rain light solar condensation sensor

Tint goes on the inside so it should have nothing to do with that. Probably something happened during the installation?
