Rear window tinting issue

[King^Lee]

So my rear window is tinted, but apparently the sun has melted the film and caused it to distort (thats what the garage told me where i brought the car)

So i recently went to get a price to have it re done, the guy said there is a very strong chance when he takes the old film off it will take the copper heating strips with it.

If this does happen is there away of fixing the issue or is it a new rear window job? I want the tint sorted cause its annoying but i dont really wanna mess up my heated glass in the process.

No if the element comes away which is also the arial it's dead mate :( 

I will have a word with a guy I know see what hes says might be monday if I see him, I always thought it was set with in the glass for some reason.
