Factory window tint

Post by Ohiotinkerer »

Got my Marti report and my bump was ordered with optional tinted windows but have discovered that there appears to be 2 different shades of tint offered. Mine are a very light green and have the words "sun x" under the Carlite logo and the darker green tint has "solar x" on it. My question is would the windshield and rear window have also been the same or was that just the side glass and did the rear windows have the Carlite logo on it? My windshield has been replaced somewhere along the line because it has a different logo on it and the rear window doesn't have one at all and doesn't appear to have any tint at all........... :hmm:

Rear glass was also available in sun-x. I remember buying one a few years ago. It's buried in my shed somewhere.

Thanks BobbyFord -found the logo on the back window - had a sticker over it and didn't see it....... :doh: .......it's the original......on the windshield I'm wondering if the tint was only at the top and not on the entire thing and if so would it be or not be marked like the rest of the glass in the doors and rear........does anyone out there have a tinted original windshield in their bump they could look and tell me what it says?

There’s info here on Ford Carlite glass and how to ID the factory etching.
