For which windows?

I've seen the odd W204 with FACTORY tinted rears, but usually they're all non tinted...

Tint % is based on how much light comes through. Factory "tint" is just normal glass with slight coloring which is usually between 88-92%. Aftermarket tint is much better for heat reduction, privacy and UV protection. Most states allow 35% on the front doors and darker on the rear portion of the car.
