I don't think you'll get a new car out of the deal (if this is your logic) I would say the likely outcome is they'll buy you an extended warranty from a 3rd party source. I can't remember from your other thread whether you said you already talked tough with the dealership but I would bypass all sales staff and go to the owner or general manager of the dealership. Don't mention that you would bad-mouth them online or make any other threats (if you already did it puts you in a tough spot). Say you went to a local dealership and this [extended warranty] was the advised outcome. If they refuse to give you the warranty you'll mention that you also discussed this with an attorney and would [the person you are speaking with] be the correct person for the attorney to talk to.
Use the car's warranty to have the 3rd brake light fixed; just tell them it rattles, don't even mention the tint and other dealer. It's not really worth your time to try to work with the old dealer on that. You may want to have it fixed first to give you a service record on your VIN in case they think you're BS'ing about having a local dealer's advice.

thanks, and no I'm not trying to get a new car out of it. I just don't like when things are hacked up without my consent. I've bought other cars with "pre-installed" alarms before, that I choose to have "disabled" at the time of purchase. In these cases, while annoyed, at least I'm fully aware that my car has been hacked up and have the option of walking away from the deal right then and there.
