Tinted glass.
« on: 15 April 2006, 18:39 »
Hi there,
Not had me 8v for long, but something i didnt notice when i bought the car is the drivers window isnt tinted, where as the rest of the windows are.
Is there just one shade of tint or does it vary depending on car colour?
Where is the best place to get a replacement?
Is it an easy diy job to change it?
It' s doing my head in just knowing it's odd !!!!  :angry: :angry:

the glass on my car is a .1 tint, there are different gradients as far as i am aware, theres normally  number in the little bit of etched information, usually near reg number on glass to tell you if it is tinted!  hope it helps... :kiss:

MK2 glass will be clear or green tint, though I would wait till you can get a window the same make as the oposite side at least :)

not quite, its an option.  My driver had green tint glass :)
In fact most Drivers I see have green tint glass, but many 8v GTIs have clear  :rolleyes:

I have 'gangsta' tints all round on my Golf...not overly keen on it myself, thus far its avoiding the attention of the Police...but I'm probably going to take 'em out soon and swap them for some standard tinted glass I have.
