Is the back window factory tinted?
I was removing a layer of crappy aftermarket tint from my back window tonight when I noticed another layer underneath that is very hard- like it's baked on. It's scraped away in a few places,, but it doesn't peel off like the layer I removed. Is this factory tint maybe?

Re: Is the back window factory tinted?
Factory tint came in either blue, green or bronze depending on the model, years, etc. so possibly?

Isn't the factory tint laminated within the glass?

It should be. I had one of the rear windows broken out of one of mine, and it shattered into a million pieces. If it were a film, that wouldn't have happened.

Re: Is the back window factory tinted?
I looked at it again this morning and it definitely had two layers of aftermarket tint on top of the factory tinted glass. It's no wonder I could hardly see out the back window. The first layer came off with a heat gun & lacquer thinner, but the heat gun didn't have much effect on the second layer.
