Rear Climate Package -Rear Window Tint Percentage?

On the rear climate package, what percent tint comes on the rear windows?

I'd like to match it to my front windows, if it's legal

Close to 20%.

I don't know for sure. It is darker then MD state minimum 35%, considerably darker. So I don't think a drop of 3% would achieve that. But you may be right.

I seem to recall that when I had my fronts done and I asked the installer to match the factory tint, he told me the best he could do was 35% (MA) as the factory was 32%. It seems to be pretty close to me, but it's not hard to see that it's a bit lighter...

I checked my 2001 X5 and the front windows had like 75% and the rear windows were about 45%. It does not seem like it but... the front windows do have a light amount of tint.

The front windows are something to think about when adding more tint. If you were to add the legal limit... in VA 50%.. Plus the 25% already blocked.... You will actually have 25%.

I will check the tint reading on my new 2007 Wednesday and let you know.

Hi all,

I just picked up my new X5 3.0si last Firday. I am looking to tint the front passenger windows to match the factory tint and wanted to know what the factory % was. Didn't seem like there was a definitive answer here.

Thnx.
