I wonder if the heating element (or whatever) doesn't up into the tinted area. It's about the only thing I can think of, since you know it works in another vehicle. That at least proves it isn't faulty. I'll see if I can dig out the box for mine, as it had additional sticky pads. I'll then mount it below the tint and see if I still get a GPS lock. Might take a day or two though.
