Default Planning To tint my glasses - will it void CPO

I am planning to have Tint on my windows from a third party and wondering it it would void any kind of CPO that my car currently has.

Can't imagine tint voiding your warranty. It may void repairs for instance if you had a problem with a seal around the window if it was determined that the glue somehow caused an issue, but that's a stretch.

There is no way a tint will void a warranty. I live in AZ and its chance in hell that you will ever see a car with no tint and we all enjoy our warranty coverage ( unless you visit Bell Lexus in Phoenix, they suck !)

The dealer sells new cars with aftermarket tint on the showroom floor , usually a hired vendor that does them onsite...go get that tint now!!

I have 35% ceramic on mine. The legal max in GA. , so it's not that dark. 15% seems hardly worth it IMHO. I went with Formula One, a national franchise operation. Warrantied for as long as you own the car.

I tried to get the Wind Noise fix solution done on my LS460 and was denied! You will have to remove the tint on the front windows before they will work on it. So if you want to tint your ride, get the wind noise fix solution done FIRSTTTT!

Thank You guys for all the input
I had asked this silly question because i thought that tinting glasses would require to remove the window glasses and Tint it but understood that they just glue it

On What i found -Below were the best recommendations from many

3M Crystalline 70 for windshield
3M Crystalline 40 for Rear and sides
LLumar AB80
Formula 1

I have not taken any quoted for 3M which is the one i would like to have.anyone who can give how much they paid for 3M Cystalline

If you ever have to take it off, and I do say "IF", all you need to do is rent a steamer or buy one for $30 and as you steam the tint and peel slowly, it will remove the tint. I believe the defroster lines are embedded into the glass, so no worries of actually ripping those off the rear..but in all reality, when the dealer goes to sell that car again, they will add $500 to the price because it has tint lol

Wtf??? Seriously? I have tint and my dealer did my wind noise fix and put in the new laminated windows without any question ..in fact they recommended a tinter for me! My tinter just redid them for free for all the business I bring them. Wind noise originates from outside so that dealer is on some other ish..first I have heard of that happening to anyone
