Wet inside is your heater. Do you have a cel? That will help with limp

I got tickets all the time for that **** in PA lol. Cheapest way to remove it is with some elbow grease and a heat gun. The best DIY I've ever seen for removing tint involved one of those shark steamers that people use on clothes, but if you don't already have one I prolly wouldn't buy one just to remove your tint. If you want to have it replaced with lighter tint you can just have the tint shop remove it for you, but they'll charge ya for it.

Anyone know if there was ever a "limo" option for the B5? Mine says limo right on the sticker in the rear tire well, so I'm wondering if the tint was factory. My tint is definitely passed regulations for CT, but I've yet to be pulled over for it.

I've never heard that, but that doesn't make it impossible. Factory tint is usually much higher quality than the part's store stuff though, I'd leave it.

This is why no one else is allowed to drive my car. I know what all the noises and lights mean
