70% is the legal limit for front windows that's why factory tint is 70% in the front.

Shh! I went 30 on windshield, 15 on sides and smaller front windows.

3% for the glassroof. Amazing

I got 24.9% for the back window at the tint shop.

Falls within +/- 2% like I mentioned. I did each three times in different areas and consistently got the same reading. My intention was to average the readings but all three on each window gave the same result. May be worth noting that I took the readings with the truck in my dark garage to avoid ambient light altering the result, could be the reason your tint guy got 1.9% higher. Close enough to make me happy and confirm accuracy/precision of results.

Also worth mentioning that ALL windows on this truck have UV protection which is atypical in the auto industry, but great. No need to tint the rear windows unless you really want it darker.

...and nothing over the rears to match them to the 15% fronts (11% metered)? That's gotta look ridiculous with the fronts 10% darker than the rear. 50% (52% off the roll) over the rear 24% is almost a perfect match to 15% over the 72% factory green glass.

Thank you

3% for the glassroof. Amazing

Might as well get the same material for the solar eclipse glasses

Any IR rejection registered on the windshield?

Do you really think I would let it go unmatched or looking weird? It looks completely fine! I did the same on my MSP, and MYLR. I'll take a pic if it helps you sleep at night. ha!

Well,you said you only put 15% on the front four. That would mean you didn't tint the rears darker and I don't need a photo because I do know already how bad it looks. I tint windows for a living, been doing it 35 years and I'd never put 15% on the front doors and leave it like that unmatched to the rear on any of my customers cars. 20% is even 5% darker than the rear windows.
But hey, that makes it uniquely yours
