The rear hatch glass is just dyed. The UV/infrared protection is limited to the glass roof.
Was speaking to a tint shop and they said because the rear window is dark already don’t go for tint on that back window. Confused if I should or should not get a tint on that window. Appreciate any thoughts from this group.
Folks often conflate dark glass with glass that will reject heat and UV. You should ask yourself why you're tinting your windows. Is it for privacy, performance or a combination thereof? If you're only concerned with privacy, do nothing and leave the glass as-is. If you would like to realize relief from the heat of the sun and it's harmful UV rays, then you'll want to tint the glass. Does that make sense?
Depending on what line of tint you use, you could put a ceramic 70 or 80 on the rear window for heat/UV rejection and it shouldn't darken the window that much (not that you can see much out of it in the first place).
Sorry I don't have any other quotes but just wanted to say thank you for posting this. I'm considering getting my car tinted and this is SUPER helpful to know. Appreciate it!
Where did you go, what did you get, and how much did you pay? I believe someone here was interested in pricing information.
