I have an new 03 Accord. Dealer says if I put tint on the windows and the
"window actuators (or maybe "regulators"?) go out that it isn't covered by
the warranty. I can't find anything in all of my paperwork that states this.
Service manager said he really thought it was about older models and crappy
parts. Sounds like BS to me.

By "actuators" he might mean the electric motors?

Are the windows manual, or electric? In either case,
window tint will not cause the failure of the mode of
transport that the glass uses to go up and down.

The dealer is blowing smoke, and hoping that you
are dumb enough to fall for his BS. Avoid him at
all costs, and definitely don't bother with anything
that is verbal. Get it in writing...if he won't write it
down, or give you printed material to support his
claim, then it is BS.

Research the Magnusson-Moss Act. It was passed
because of scum like your dealer.
