Does all GLB come with tinted window?

I was looking on the web and I noticed some glb35 has clear windows on back. Is the window tint standard or optional for the rear passenger and tailgate?

My GLB35 came without tinted windows, big surprise, had to have my windows tinted. I ordered before it was put up on the MB build.

I just picked up my GLB35 and no privacy glass in the back. All the GLB250 on the show room floor had the privacy glass. I did ask the question before signing, but no one had any idea

GLB's are registered as passenger car in US, so there is no privacy glass to meet federal/state requirements such as NYS. I don't know why it is registered as a passenger car, since similar sized GLK (even in shorter length) was registered as MUV (multiple use vehicle) and came with privacy glass.

I had the sides and rear windows tinted the next day. Made a huge difference. Here are photos of before and after.

In Europe, GLB's come with Rear Tints as Standard. Infact for Electric Towhook, you have to explicitely mention if you dont need that else all GLB's have collapsible tow hooks.

The GLB 35 AMG is registered as a passenger car because it is 1” lower than a regular GLB. That’s why it doesn’t come with tint. Another stupid DOT rule.

yep, the epa classifies it as a station wagon so no tint on the back! But the dealer said mercedes gives them money that is like customer appreciation money, cant remember the exact term, but it's up to $1000. So they gave me a we owe sheet that I took to the tint shop and they covered it. Got the best tint they had including clear heat reflective film on the windsheild!
