Tinting rear side windows on '11 Burb

[saxart]

Hello-
Noobie here. I'm sorry if this post is in the wrong place, but I didn't know where is the best place for a question like this.

I just picked up a loaded up 2011 LT Suburban. I would like to tint the long back windows by the cargo area, but I see that the passenger side window has some sort of antena printed on the inside of it.

Will tinting this window screw up my radio reception?

Thanks, I'm looking forward to more posting here. It looks like a great forum!

No it will not screw up your reception if the tint you use is a non-metallic tint. So basically a tint with no meta in it like a ceramic tint.
As you can tell in my pic my truck is real darkly tinted and may reception is fine.

Is that an antenna or defrost??

I've been wondering what this is on my Tahoe too.

I dont see why there would be a defrost on the side rear windows. IMO

Cuz that'd be a HUGE blind spot back there if it was all fogged up... Why would you have a long antenna in both rear windows?? That wouldn't make much sense to me. Now I'm very curious to find someone who knows 100% for sure

Ah i wasnt aware it was on both sides...i havent had mine in the winter yet so i never saw if the defrost works on those windows.

Its an antenna IMO, only one side has it, the hook up is different then the back defroster.

Its an antenna. Pretty much from the front seats back is a blind spot in mine

I stand corrected then I thought it was on both sides
