Rear Privacy Glass

[danny_tq]

So,

My v35, has really dark tints on the rear window and the two small side windows, nothing on the two front door windows. I have trouble reversing as night, as you could imagine.

I wasn't too sure what it was initially, so I wanted to get my whole car tinted. So I went to get it tinted. The guy ripped off, the old tint and put a new one all round (20%). What I ended up was with my two front windows at 20% and the read and back still very dark! Still looks silly.

What the guy told me afterwards is that I have privacy glass at the back and side windows! (plus some extra tint) Wtf! After the new tint, its still dark, cause he's put tint on an already dark privacy filter! I still cant see too well! The point of me putting new tint was so I can see better and have even colour all round!

ANyway the back is still very dark, does naybody no in % terms the tint level on the privacy filters? After putting a 20% tint on the privacy glass, it coms up at about 8% on his machine.

I think im going to rip off my tints at the back and just hope the pirvacy glass kinda matches with my tint....what a bitch and waste of money! All the extra tint for no reason, now gotta rip it off.

Im not too keen on smashing into others cars at night, so I think ill remove it!

WOnder if anybody else has that shit privacy filter thing at the back...please share your problems.

could always get reverse came for your car. maybe cheaper then tinting or taking tint off your car

i got a Stagea s2 with privacy glass. easyer to see out of the rear window unlike a coupe. but i have given a few love taps to wall's and stuff

Hey mate,

Had it on my V35 as well, but with no extra tint on top and it wasn't to bad.

A mate of mine who tints cars, said though to match the fronts I would definitely have to use an illegal tint fro NSW so I just went legal up front and left the privacy as was in the rear. My car was Black with black interior so the difference wasn't to noticeable.

Bad part is, short of getting new glass there's no way around it.

If it's just the darkness of it that you're worried about, just take the tint off and leave it as is, as i said it wasn't too bad for me.

Cheers

You probably havent sat in the back as most owners of the car dont. However if you have, or when you do you can understand why they tint it so dark.

The window is so long it exposes the rear passengers to an uncomfortable heat.

I have the privacy glass and love it!! Use your mirrors! My old boy has a new Maloo ute, it doesnt need tint to inhibit the non existant view out the back of the 4 inch tall rear window....

I love the privacy glass! But I do have a reverse camera too which I am addicted to.

Also, your tint guy is an idiot.

do us all a favour and never go near that tint guy again!

on my car the front windows are simply tinted to (almost) match the darkness of the rear and sides... looks ok to me!
