Rear Tints
« on: 27 August 2008, 09:21 »
Is it possible to have the dealer tints carried out at the dealer or are these a factory fitted option??? If this is not the case which is the best type of tint? I know you can have the glass coated or even a film though I have seen some film jobs that simply look horrendous.

It is a factory fitted option. I know what you mean I've seen some aftermarket ones full of bubbles and a nasty line around the outside.

with factory tints i think im correct in saying it is the glass itself that is tinted and lasts the life of the car.

Yes thats correct.

I saw black MK5 GTI this morning with film tints and all you could see was a big white line around the rear screen  :sick:
