[neo66]

Has anyone bought and fitted the actual rear tinted windows that come as a factory option from VW on a 3 door??.
Got mine second hand that unfortunetly didn' have tints!

Just interested on the price and fitment!!

Cheers.

The factory shade of tint is very attractive, does anyone know how an after market 'Light' tint goes onto the OEM blue tinted windows,???, i would like this mod but to achive the OEM look and would the after market tints be too dark

evening all, i looked into getting mine tinted last summer the guy who quoted said that the mk5 hatch glass is the worse there is to do he recommends smashing the glass, kids with stones lawn mowers kicking up pebbles etc (for insurance purposes) £60 excess then arrange to have the window fitted at his place and he would tint it first. so either window out or join along one of the heater elements i declined both....

OEM ??   
Optional extra manufacturing or sumin?
I too heard there quite hard to tint, thats why I'm checking out the price for the genuine products!

Def of OEM:-

"An original equipment manufacturer, or OEM is typically a company that uses a component made by a second company in its own product, or sells the product of the second company under its own brand. The specific meaning of the term varies in different contexts."

"OEM's are the industry's brand name auto manufacturers, such as General Motors, Ford, Toyota, Volkswagen, etc. The OEM definition in the automobile industry constitutes a federally-licensed entity required to warrant and/or guarantee their products, unlike "aftermarket" which is not legally bound to a government-dictated level of liability."

If you do a search I'm sure that TT found out what the cost of the OEM tinted glass was, as someone has asked this question once before.

had mine tinted by pentagon 2 years ago, these guys know what they are doing.

it was meant to be hard to do the rear screen, but they did an excellent job.

i got a bit of a discount, but I think it was £400 for the whole car, minus front screen of course.

I had a slightly lighter than OEM, I had light smoke, OEM is near to smoke, maybe darker.

I am led to believe that the glass is "coloured" from factory with regard to the optional rear tints - don't believe it is a film just that the glass itself is coloured.

yes thats true, it is coloured, not film.
