Please can someone check and see what the transparency is?
It’s 70% on the rest of the car
Thanks

Privacy glass can be any level of obscurity.
However, the windscreen and front side windows can only be tinted to a certain level to be legal.
I'm sure somebody who has the OEM privacy will advise what level it is.
Places that supply and fit tinting film will also advise.

Cheers for looking.
That’s a shame though ☹️

Edit...
AS = American Standard
AS1 = Laminated and at least 70% transparency
AS2 = Tempered at least 70%
AS3 = laminated or tempered below 70%

Hopefully one with Pilkington Glass will also show transparency

Privacy glass with no light behind it, cannot see any lettering. :lol:

Haha, be nice if you can actually look though 😉
Although I suspect it will just show lower than 70.
Fitter reckons 20-35
