No problems as long as you don't roll down your windows for about 2-3 days. Also do not turn on the rear defroster for about a week. If you need to clear out the condensation on rainy days, turn on the air conditioning and set the temperature to around 70 degrees or so and it will clear out the moisture.

I live in California in the S.F. Bay area and it hardly ever gets below 40 degrees. We Californian's don't know what FREEZING really is. :lol

I can tell You some stories about freezin'  :lol  :lol  :mad

That's for sure Leo.

I travelled the Trans-Siberian railway from the Japan side to Leningrad in mid December when I was single and much younger. I never felt cold like it and I can only take my hat of to all of you who live in those climates.

Devil with frostbite.

We tell our customers to turn their defrosters on to help cure the film quicker :thumb Is that a bad idea? We've never had any problems and have been telling them that for....well, around 17 years from what I can remember. :booga

I tell 'em to wait a week ever since I took a call from a tint customer who turned her defrost on the very next morning and.... sizzle, snap, crack, boom! :thumb

A short in the defrost along with the water under the film changed the resistance through the element grid and over heated the entire grid to the point of breaking the glass.

Defrosters have also been hard on metal deposits in film along lines that may still hold water literally causing a kind of corrosive electrolysis to eat away the metal, leaving clear spots in film along the element line.

Maybe in 10, 12, 17, whatever years you have come away fortunate not to have things like this occur. I still find it prudent not to mix electrical current, metal and moisture.

Leave it off for a week... what's it hurt?
