that crack is caused by the poor removal of the rear view mirror not any tint

Smells fishy. I would make them buy your friend a new windshield. If they don't know how to remove a rear wiew mirror, they shouldn't be in the window tinting business to begin with.

that is caused by improper removal of the the mirror, the same exact thing happened when I tried replacing my rearview mirror if you pull or twist it wrong the glass cracks

Thanks for the advice everyone.

My friend will be grateful.

I hope his lawyer wipes the grin off the tinters' faces.

tell them first what your intentions are and perhaps they will buckle under pressure ( because you know what happened ) if they laugh then the pictures you put up show the impact area of the problem ( a pity you dont have any pictures before it went in ) that could be a problem but scare tactics are a +1 in this kind of thing so say only what is required the shut up
