The rear windows are darker. Do they have a tint that protects againts UV and heat? Do you guys tint all 4 windows? Or just tint the front windows to match the rears?

I applied 70% to the windshield and back glass, 35% to the front doors/triangles.

I didn’t want the rears darker, but wanted the added heat rejection. Helps a lot.

I just had my driver side and passenger side windows along with the little vet windows in 20% to match the rear windows, exactly what I wanted. 125 bucks, they work perfect and they look uniform..

No rear windows for you?

Just the driver and passenger windows for me. I removed the rear view mirror and only drive with the vault uncovered when I’m moving something so I didn’t see a need to tint the rear window.

I did 5% on front and rear windows and 70% on the windshield. Because of the factory tint on the windows, the back windows look to be a lot darker than the front.

Same. I just wanted them all the same, so this was easiest and cheapest.

Although your rear windows are colored darker, they do not offer any heat rejection.

I tinted the front windshield and all four doors; darker tint on the front doors to match the rears.

Opted out of the rear windshield since the vault cover is up 99% of the time. Also skipped the glass roof since I don't have many passengers plus I can temporarily install the FS included ceiling shade if necessary.

My recently delivered CT CB was tinted yesterday at a pro shop. I used LLumar IRX 50 on the front windshield and quarter windows, IRX 80 (I think it was called 80) on the front driver and passenger windows, AIR 80 on the rear door windows, and the glass roof.

Today is first day in the sun here in South Florida, and I can feel a MAJOR difference. I have A/C at 72F instead of 69F or 70F (medium speed), and it's perfect. I am facing the Sun as I write this and also bought a sunshield on Amazon that I am really pleased with just because I don't need to see out the windshield while working remotely here at the beach :).

We tested the IR rejection and VL rejection with their detector yesterday and got 98.9% IR rejection on the front door windows (IRX 50 + Factory glass) and 100% IR rejection on the rear door windows (AIR 80 + Factory Glass).

I did not tint the rear window facing the bed since it's almost always closed, and I want to be able to see through it perfectly when I need to.
