'Tints' on the windows

I have just had the side and rear windows tinted and I am pleased with the result.

Any reason why you didn't take the Mercedes-option when you bought the car ?

I took my SL55 to my Dealer for a service, I saw the new ML 500 in the showroom and bought it as it was. Most of the other options are on it already.

In the daylight the tint is not too dark. The front side was done a different shade to the rear to stay legal. The outlook from sitting inside looking out does not seem to have changed much.

I believe that the fronts are 30% and the rear 60%.

I do not know what product the fitter used.

The guy that did the works seems to do a good job. He removes the side windows and does the application in a dust free cubicle.
