Installation, warranty & care
Installation Defect
An installation defect is a flaw introduced during fitting — dust under the film, misalignment, defroster damage, edge lift, contamination — distinct from chemistry or material defects covered by manufacturer warranty.
Common installation defects: - Visible dust or hairs trapped under cured film - Misalignment with the frit edge or window seal - Defroster lines damaged or scratched during install - Edge lift in the first months indicating poor tucking - Knife marks on glass or trim from on-vehicle cutting
These are covered under installer warranty. Reputable workshops re-install at no charge if installation defects are discovered.
For Infratint, installer warranty runs for the life of the film for original owners on premium installations.
