is it bad to have windows tinted during the cold season

 

nope

 

Not at all. It may give it the appearance of being darker than it really is because of the lack of sunlight during the day.

I just redid my 35% to 20% on my front two windows today and love the look. Just hope the cops don't get me for illegal tint. California law is no tint allowed on the fronts

 

The only thing that might be different from the summer is the time it takes to get the bubbles out of the tint. Unless you have direct sunlight, the heat that sets the tint and evaporates the water under the tint will not be there so it will take longer.

 

You shouldnt apply tint under 70* temps if that is what your talking about because as BJH said, it will never dry

 

I had my windows tinted last Christmas. It took several weeks for all the bubbles to go away.

 

sometimes a hair dryer will help the bubbles!!!

 

i just got mine done a few weeks ago and it is cold here. You should just use the defroster all the time until they cure.

 

I was always worried about the defrostrs frying the rear window tint, so basically it wont? I've tinted alot of ppls windows for free & they asked about their defrosters I was like "idk..." lol

 

All the tint places around here will warranty tint over defrosters. They all use Llumar, so maybe it can hold up better than the cheap stuff.

 

Ive tinted many many windows using autozone tint, doesnt fade, turn purple or anything. Couldnt be better IMO
