Default window tint options

I'd like to replace my hatch window with a dark tinted window. Does anyone know if there is an actual dark hatch window available with the defogger? I'd like tp stay away from the window films if possible.

Thanks

I've never heard of a dark glass rear hatch. A good tint shop can apply tint so that it will not interfere with the defogger operation.

This is the only option now. And any good shop should be able to tint this window in 1 peice so that you have no seems.

I have 5% now and am debating on having a layer of 35% laid down, then a layer of 5% over that. I had that originally. Quite dark and yes, my rear hatch is one piece as well.

Any quality shop can do a 5% one piece install for you and it wont affect the defogger. It will be mega dark. but my rear camera solved that problem. Good luck GC
