Factory tint on SGTs or SGT-Cs?

Do all SGTs come with factory tint on the rear glass and back seat windows? My SGT-C does, but I have not gotten close enough to another SGT to see if they are all this way.

 

Thank you.

One of the dealers on here might have to correct me, but I don't think any Ford cars come from the factory with tinted windows. I owned a 2005 Mustang before trading it in for my SGT and I've had to have the dealers tint the windows when both cars were delivered. My guess is that either the tint was added to yours as part of the California special package or the dealer added it before selling it to you.

How much tint are we talking about? "Factory Tint" is usually very light and barely noticeable. I just checked my '07 window sticker. No factory tint.

 

 

Please see the attached picture. It says the same thing on the rear, side windows and is fairly dark. Can any other SGT-C owners chime in here? This is definately factory tint; just curious if it was an option or something that was standard on all SGT-C's.

 

Thank you.

I looked at the glass on all three of our cars, they say the exact same thing as your window. Carlite Solar Tint glass is the OEM glass used by FORD. The solar tint means that it protects againt UV Rays.

 

"Carlite windshields have a UV protection equivalent to SPF 157."

 

This does not mean your glass has factory tint. I talked to a friend of mine who is the sales manager of our local Ford dealership. He says he has never seen a Mustang come with factory tint.

I don't see tint listed as an option on 07, 08 or 09 My.

 

Carlite glass tint levels are AS1, AS2 and AS3 variants each with a different level of light transmission and AS2 is standard.

 

Also note the only one on ebay, pic below, does not look any more tinted than mine. I can see right out the back window and there is no indication, from the way I see it, that it's tinted to the level you're showing. I suspect the dealer put tint on and you're just seeing the normal tint glass label?
