I have a 2011 S550 with quite heavily tinted windows, its just a film stuck on, not sure if this was done at the factory.

The front and rear seem to have the same tint (pics below)

I just broke the front window replacing door actuator, got a new glass coming but would like some tips on the best way to match the tint, I am in west palm beach but can travel up to orlando or down to miami if needed

any tips appreciated, thanks

The factory does not do film tinting. Go to your local tinting place and ask them what % the tint you have on is. They should be able to tell you just by looking at it.

Go to Tim in Orlando. He's probably the best on the east coast.
Tell him Leo from Maryland highly recommended him. Looks like you have 35-32% Executive film, looks similar to mine.
