Thats weird... I'd call BS but I don't know all the details... are they metallic tint? I can't imagine tint interfering with a radio signal unless, maybe, it was metallic (or maybe the tint shop damaged the antenna)...

It was suntek brand i think. Which is semi metallic not ceramic like 3m. Or could be they may have damaged the antenna when doing it.
