Default Rear glass tint percentage.

Anyone know the tint percentage(how much light can go through the tint)

I had to buy a non RS glass, this hasn't got any blackness to it unlike the rear side quarter windows.

I don't fancy full on black tint, just enough to match the side glass.

Didn't think there was any limit on rears, just the front windows?

Yeah i know that, they came slightly tinted from factory on RS. I replaced the whole tailgate due to rust issues including the screen.

Yeah i know that, what was the rear screen tint percentage from factory?

heres a pic to show what im asking:



Rear quarter glass from the series 2, and rear screen from an Eclipse model. Both factory fitted items. I no longer have the rear screen from the RS so im trying to scoure a tint to match the quarter glass.

are they both the same brand glass? as that may be your problem. the spec of the car it came from doesnt matter. i sometimes get screens at work to do that are a lighter tint than the original factory glass. you will probably find once its fitted you will hardly, if at all be able to tell.
