Depending how good the quality on your tint is, it may eventually start to peel where the defroster lines run through. That's what happened on my last car, but the tint was on there for at least a few years I'm not sure exactly how long.

^^ agree

If it's a good quality tint you shouldn't have any problems, but if it's cheap tint then you will have problems.

yeah as long as you let it dry right it will be okay. I used to be a window tinter at an accessory shop around here, i didnt have anyone ever come back having this issue, so im guessing its not too big of a deal to worry about.
