Tint + demisters causing window to smash?

Hey i got New Tint put on my car last month (27 days ago) at Tint-a-car.
Yesterday morning i had to turn my back window demister on because i couldnt see, they were on for 10 minuters if that and BANG! my back window shattered.. Could this have anything to do with the tint or installation of the Tint? Because i cant think of why else my window shattered.?

Thanks
Greg

Yer they have worked in the past. last thing i need, i know they told me not to wind the windows down for 48 hrs and not to wash the windows for 21 days, but they said nothing about the frikin demisters, so i probably wont be able to get this on warrenty could I? The only thing i think may have happened is the tint around this demister on the right in the picture was smothered buy tint glue or something and got too hot.?? :b:

More likely that as the glue dried it wasnt left in the sun and the tint never made it to the correct size, as youve turned on the demister the film has heated and shrunk and since the glue had fully dried it had no place to move so it made one. Is your car always parked in the shade?

if you look close at the picture the smash looks like it came from the demister on the right. that has completly poped out of the window.? any more suggestions?
