There is no such thing as repairing a half torm tint.. because you will clearly see the line where the old meet the new.

It is better to remove the old tint completely and replace with new tint.

The defogger is also the antenna for the radio. just be careful when removing it.

No original tint la brother. The previous owner double tint. When you remove the tint; it is very likely that the tint will rip the rear demister along with it. The end result is your demister will not work anymore.

change the whole rear mirror?

No need to be so particular about the rear demister lo. Of all the years I have been driving, I rarely use the rear demister. Unless you park in the open air at nite, your windscreen will not fogged up.
