I've done a search for this but didn't find anyone having mentioned this - does applying window tint affect TV or radio reception? As I understand, the TV aerials for the EMV screen are in the rear passenger side windows, and the radio aerial is in or on the rear windscreen.

Is tint easy to remove without damaging these aerials?

Metalic tint will weaken your FM signal slightly, and kill AM (but who cares about AM)

Doesn't do a lot for TV either especially as it is partly a modified AM signal.
