if you're in a warm/hot climate ( texas for me) you can use a small *** squeege bought 1 at dollar general for a buck and used it works just as good as hair dryer since it was like 100 degrees outside.

Hey Bat...is there still a problem with the the tiny stress fractures in some of the headlights? I remember reading about it awhile back and was wondering if it was still occurring.

I'm interested in slightly tinting the headlights so they're not like "bling shiny chrome" lookin'

this has been an ongoing issue dating back to 2003! And still exists on 2006. Mind you alot of these stress cracks are happening on cars without Overlays or any other headlight protection film.

What type of shop would be able to best handle this type of thing? A body shop or a window-tinting shop or something else entirely?
