Default grease streaks and tint

Guys, I'm looking to get my windows tinted (Huper Optik), BUT.....I still have the grease streaks.......the dealer is going to take care of it, but will my tint get screwed up if I get the tints before resolving the streak issue? thanks

1. I have tint and the streaks are not hurting the tint.
2. The streaks will eventually subside on their own
3. The half-a## repair the dealer will do trying to alleviate the streaks will be worse......good luck....sorry....I don't mean to sound so negative.....my rule is ...the less the dealer has their hands on my baby....the better off it is....especially when they take their joyrides in your Z.....

maybe i'm not that picky....

Have the grease fix done and then wait about a month before tinting to make sure they fixed it correctly. I had to have one window done twice.

The window has to be removed and there has been one or two reports that the dealer damaged the tint. Some dealers have good technicians others don't. The grease itself won't damage the tint.

FYI, the grease may never go away as some say.

I've had my window tinted for nearly a year now and I'm still getting streaks. Good luck...and no it doesn't hurt the tint...actually the tint makes it easier to wipe off.
