Brown Tint

anyone notice that 3rd gen SEs come with a slight tannish colored "tint" to the windows? I dunno if its on all 3rd gens but on my 92 SE it is. If you look at the car at the right angle with a decent amount of sunlight you can see it. Being that Im getting probably 35/20/20 (or all 35) black tint in the spring will it turn out wierd b/c of this "tan" shaded tint?

Re: Brown Tint

My 92SE has that too -- I always assumed the glass was just of the "smoked" variety: not tinted, but manufactured in such a way to have that hue.

i don't think mine 3rd gen has the tan tint look...but i don't think my tint is factory. it's different colors and the back window got REALLY bubbly so i took it out

well.... purp tint is most likely cuz they used cheap tint
or they used window cleaner on the tint

we get that a lot .... the other day we had a 3rd gen
at my shop with bubbly purple tinted windows...
guess who they assigned to remove the old tint?
took me 3 freakin hours!!!

I found out the hard way after someone tried to break into my car by smashing the window that my max has brown glass, some cars have a blue tint glass while others have the brown, cant really tell unless your looking for it............
