I've seen the exact same thing on DeLorean's too, and it does look odd when all the glass but the rear has been tinted. The other thing too (and I don't know if this happens on other peoples' cars) is the glare from the light off the rear facia lip. That birght glare from the back, when all other glass is dark can be pretty distracing for your eyes to have to refocus I would imagine. I've seen some cars where the top of the windshield is tinted to stop sun glare. But rather than being a stripe, it's smoked to it fades to clear. What if you were to do this on the rear glass? But instead of being from the top down, you could go from the center out. The center would be the same darkness as all other glass, but the ends would be clear. To hide this, you could probably transition the tint from dark to clear in the "blind spot" areas of the rear glass. It would be less of a distraction to you, because all angles would appear to have the same color. And when looking from behind thru the louvers, the glass would appear tinted the same. And of course when you looked thru the quarter panel glass, their tinting would hide the clear outer portions of the glass looking into the passenger compartment. And when you had the lourvers up, it would give a nicer appearance for the rear glass. I know that this was probably a post that should have gone directly to Walt, but I'm also curious if anyone else here knows if it could be done. If yes, I may then consider a window tint for my own car. This is the very reason I never thought about one... -Robert vin 6585 --- In dmcnews@xxxx, "Walter Coe" <Whalt@xxxx> wrote: > I'm going to have my windows re-tinted and would like some opinions on the > best way to handle the rear window & quarter panels.
