Tint % to Match Factory?

[x50]

Does anyone know the approximate tint % for the front doors to match the factory tint on the rear doors and back window?

 

[Rlaf75]

I had my fronts done to match a few months ago but I cant remember what the percentage wss. I want to say 30% but I'm not sure. Go to your local tint shops and see what they say

15% is what I have and it's a pretty close match. I think the factory window tint is about 20%.

This.

I did 15% on my front doors and it was ever so slightly darker then the factory tint on the back doors so my installer put 50% over the factory tint on back doors. Front doors are dark and back doors are very dark like limo tint now. Also did 50% on the whole windshield.

Seems to be pretty close to 20% IMHO. Here's my current truck and my last truck, each with 20%. Remember that the windshield isn't tinted, so that affects things a little because it's letting in more light than the other windows.

Yes. That's what the installer told me.

My installer (did 5 vehicles thru him) told me 20%. I trust his word on that. Had him do my front two 25% this time around as I found it a bit too dark in my last truck, which I had factory match. Makes a difference so I think the 20% factory estimate is spot on.

When they measured by back windows, they said it registered 23%. So…I did 50% across the back windows, 15% on the side (driver and passenger) and 50% on the windshield, all ceramic. I LOVE the look and it doesn’t feel too dark because it’s all darker.

I did 15% over the factory, and then on the front windows. The back is basically limo, and the front is right where I wanted it.

I did 20% on just the front windows and it looks really, really close.

^^^^^^ 20%

What mud flaps do you have there?

Those look like Husky brand. I got mine on Amazon as open box return for $25. They’re normally around $80.

I believe i read somewhere the factory is 18%... so u should be close between the 15-20% range which is what you will typically find at most tint shops.

You had any issues with windshield sensors being effected with the windshield tint.

 

[Randboye]

For those that have tinted the front windshield, have you had any issues with it interfering with any of the sensors/cameras ?

No, you don’t tint in front of the DASM area, you tint around it.

What tint did you use in the windshield?
