Rear WIndows Factory Tint? What percentage is it?
Does anybody know? I want to tint my front windows. Colorado state law says ALL windows can have tint ***IF*** all of them allow 27% of light. So in other words, if the rear does not allow 27% of light transmission, then you CANNOT have the front doors tinted at all.

I have no idea what the percentage is from the factory on the rear doors and rear tailgate.

Just trying to remain legal.

Does anyone here know what percentage the rears are?

Thanks in advance.....

From my past experience and my guess, I would say it is about 20%
