Window Tint Question

[ghost_rider]

Does anyone know the % tint that the CX-7 rear / hatch windows come OEM?

I was thinking about re-doing the entire car (front / rear / hatch) with a darker tint.

btw, any recommendations for a quality film?

I asked that same question (OEM tint %) a while ago. I never got a response. Maybe somebody knows by now.

Do a search. I had the same question and found it here as well. Pretty close match to the rears

 

[CXRabbit]

I did the front windows, two little mini front windows and a strip along the top of the windshield all in 20%

Seemed to match pretty darn close.

Most factory tint ranges from 18 to 20%.

It that's true then my car is illegal from the factory. In WI you are allowed 50% on the fronts and 35% on the rears.

I have a hard time believing they would allow a car to be sold that isn't street legal.

For the US you can check the laws here:
http://www.tintcenter.com/laws/

Wisconsin law is:
Front Side Windows Must allow more than 50% of light in.
Back Side Windows Must allow more than 35% of light in.
Rear Window Must allow more than 35% of light in.

There are quite a few states that limit rear window tint (maybe even most states).

I don't know about the laws in Canada.

Here is None on the side fronts and anything on the doors behind the driver and back windows its a lovely thing for a guy like me that wants privacy in my vehicle.



PS: Not a drug dealer or anything shady just i use my vehicles a lot and hate to much light.

check with the laws, some states allow for a medical exemption. you'll need to carry around a letter from your eye doctor (hopefully they'll write you one if don't actually have a condition) that your eyes are very sensitive to light and glare.

Just had my driver and passenger windows tinted to match the others. 20% seems to be about perfect.

recently got my cx 10% all around...2 days later cop pulled me over ;( ... he just gave me a warning though..

I believe its 20% rear. My wife had hers done at 35% front (to stay legal) even though I wanted darker. My old car had 5% and that was awful. 20% all around is perfect.
