Standard Window Tint
Does anyone know the transmissivity (in % terms) of a stock C5 windscreen?
I have a 2002 Vert with HUD.

"ALL vehicles come from the factory with a certain percentage of tinting incorporated into the glass. In most cases it blocks out approximately 20% of the available light, which means that 80% is still passing rough. That is an LTV of 80%."

But that's for windows ... Your title says windows and you're asking about the wind screen. Is this right?

Bottom line is if I meet FMVSS 205 (which I assume a GM stock windscreen will), I'm OK.
Thanks for your help
