1/2 Mirror Tint On Rear Windscreen

[DOU33]

hey ppl i've see a few cars getting around now with what appers to be some sort of mirror tinting on the bottom 1/3- nearly half way up the rear windscreen, changing to darkest legal tint on a good half of the top rear windscreen,

its not completly mirror tinting as you can see through it if you look hard enough

justy wondering if anyone knows if this is legal/ and insurance friendly

cheers

You're talking about 'Fader tint' I think (bottom half chrome/mirror, top half Black, blue etc). It ain't legal either... mirror is 5%, black part is 20%. Legal is 35% light transmission.

Is it definate that you cant have dark tinting on the rear screen?

I ask as a lot of vans have there windows totally black and some even replaced with steel in the case of refridgerated ones. And trucks cant see a damn thing at all besides a huge box.

Or is it just a commercial vehicle thing?

pretty sure that vans have different rules, they can paint their windows etc.

spoke to my tinter, who did my car ion 5% all round, thats the only reason he can get that tint, and he cant get large amounts cos the sales of 5% were monitored..
