Bottom of Windshield/ orange line question

[MF21]

New owner here, I recently purchased a 2019 Raptor as this has been a childhood dream of mine. Love everything about the truck except I took it in to get a windshield tint and now have orange lines on the bottom left of the windshield (standing in front of the truck) that are very visible from the exterior and interior. Is this from the tint not being done correctly or do raptors come like this? Thanks in advance, hoping its the tint so I can make the guy fix it and the annoying orange lines will be gone.

I've never seen anything like that. If they weren't there before the tint and are there after, why are you even asking? It's the tint.

Those are defroster elements for the wipers.

Don't all 802A's have that?

I only had the truck for about 12 hours before I got it tinted and didn't recall If it was there before or not because of my lack of time with the car. Hoping this page that has much more time and knowledge with and owning raptors could help. Thanks..

It’s wiper heaters. It must be more visible because of the tint.

Looks like the element for the heated wipers. I didn't know it was even legal to tint the front windshield in the line of sight?

Either your wiper arms are not aligned properly on the posts, or your wiper motor is not parking them properly. Once you get them in the right place, they will be directly over the heater elements and you can't see the elements unless you lift the wiper blades up. The blade should be resting in the middle of the heating element when shut off.

Nailed it.

Heated wiper park was included in the Technology Package. It's a nice option; never have to worry about your wipers being frozen to the windshield, regardless of whether you're remote starting or driving down the highway in sub freezing temperatures.
