Has anyone had the problem of crazing of the tint laminate on the rear screen? I live in Florida and with strong sunlight mine has developed uniform mini blisters over the entire screen and visibility is impaired. I can still see through but the view is not clear. I considered replacement of the tint laminate but find that the wires of the screen demist and the screen antenna appear to be in the laminate. Has anyone a solution for this problem?

That is one of the major reasons I didn't tint my NSX. All of my other cars are tinted. As far as I know, a tint shop might have chemicals to help remove old tint. Once removed, and before reprinting, test and repair each damaged line. They make kits to reestablish the connection by "painting" a conductive paint with a brush and stencil. I've never done this myself.
This is a common problem with the back window. I tinted the window that separates the cabin from the engine compartment for that very reason. you still get the cooling results without the risk of blistering.

I have used that on my other car with great result. Simple and easy to do.
While my back window is not tinted, I heard somewhere these were dual pane windows with a film between them. Mine is somehow starting to fog up slightly. Does'nt impair my rear vision, but is annoying to look at.
Sounds like you're going to have to remove and replace it. Successful tint removal without damage to the defroster lines depends on a few factors like how many years it's been on there and how strong the adhesive is. I've removed tint from several cars over the years and 3 out of 4 times I didn't damage the defroster lines. The car I did just 1 month ago came off super easy; must have been a really weak adhesive. A really good steamer is the tool of choice for back windows with defroster lines.
