Thanks for that .....came as part of a package ( black pack ) ....but yes a bit scrimpy

Because it doesn’t meet our laws on the front glass.

Interestingly, it also doesn’t stop UV either, it’s just dark glass.

Hence why some tint is a good proposition.

Isn't the tinting limit here 35% light, or have I got that wrong?

So the front passenger windows and back door and wind screen screen could be locally tinted to meet our laws ...right ?

Must result in at least 35% light transmission.

Yup! And you’ll get heat rejection through that glass too.

Subaru privacy glass used to not include the 2 front doors either.I think some other countries aren't allowed any tint on front doors at all so it's a blanket package world wide.

I got the other 3 done to match with regular tint and the privacy glass is heaps better. It's actually in the glass so will never scratch, bubble or fade and is clearer to look through. And even though I got mine done at a reputable place and they did a pretty good job you can clearly tell its an add on. I thought the whole black pack was a bargain but even if you optioned it for the $600 they were asking, it is still well worth it. And good luck finding someone willing to do the alpine windows with film too.
