The side and rear glass are all marked as "tinted safety glass". Does anyone know what this means, e.g. is it a film, is it just colored glass, is it standard, is it a factory option? The reason I ask is I'm keen to know what (if any) UV protection it's giving me and my family. An example of one of the markings is as follows:(Ford)(E4) (S)TEMPERED43R-000113AS2 DOT-481 M248-1TINTED SAFETY GLASS10- G ....Thanks,Caleb.

huggy_b Member 94 Member For: 12y 14d Posted 27/08/15 12:45 AM Share Posted 27/08/15 12:45 AM I assume it's privacy glass, just slightly darkened? It's in the glass, not a film that is applied. Most modern cars have it these days. If so there is very little if any UV protection or reduction in heat transmission. You can either tint over it with normal tint (be careful about going too dark with tint on tint if you want to stay legal) or you can tint with a clear UV film.

Of course, I don't want to waste money tinting it either if it already is tinted properly :s Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91046-what-is-this-tinted-safety-glass-exactly/#findComment-1559581 Share on other sites More sharing options...
