I call it BS. Although my rear windshield tint has the same effect as yours (light refraction on the defroster lines), the same guy that did mine also did a fellow forum member's on an earlier date (summer time), and I went to check his out, his tints came out better with way less air around the defroster lines than mine.

So they agreed to re-do mine around summer time (I did mine back in October, was kinda chilly around here).
