Factory window tint

[J Alynn]

We’ve talked a lot about the glass roofs but not windows. Since 98% of SUV’s come tinted in the rear-IF SM offers factory items like winches and possibly wraps I’d like to suggest factory added tint for the front windows and the strip at top of windshield. Offer a couple tint levels so people can keep it legal for their state laws but I’d pay up front to have window to tint added. Wouldn’t have to carry a warranty but not having to find a tint company would be great. PA is 35% dark with 65% visible so I’d vote for that but just having like a 30-ish % and maybe a 50% would be great. Would anybody else take advantage of tint from the factory?

Depends on cost. If it’s comparable to what I would pay at my local tint shop than sure. Tint isn’t very expensive.

Depends on if it is a tint that has a high UV and heat rejection, I wouldn’t want just a basic tint that doesn’t do any of those things. Sometimes factory tints aren’t as good as aftermarket.

Are you thinking factory installed. Or, authorized service center installed? I think aftermarket is the best bet.

I would only want factory tint on the all glass roof if I chose that option. I have read some aftermarket tint on glass roofs can cause them to shatter because they trap heat inside the glass or something like that. Otherwise i would be getting a local shop to install UV ceramic tint on all the other glass.

Yeah-I’d prefer ceramic tint

I think this is an option best left to the end consumer. However that doesn’t mean that there isn’t the possibility for partnering with a large national company that does tint… it would be much like a dealer add-on done after vehicle delivery. Either way the best tint is a ceramic, to keep temps in check for cabin occupants.
