OEM Tinted glass, how much darker?

[Skyliner33]

My tailgate window needs to be replaced.
Currently it has the green glass. I am wondering how much darker the OEM tinted windows are?
Is it dark enough of would I still need to get a tint?
Pictures would be great.
Thanks

I would be interested in views on this, as i a looking at rear glass, and want wiper, heated, tinted...

Could you confirm if the rear window part number is 7e5 845 503 F for tinted?

My OEM side and rear tints are very very dark, I'd say limo! Very pleased

Hi Jon,
That is good to hear. Been meaning to go into a dealer to look at a van with dark tint but not got around to it....
You don't happen to have the part number for the T6 tinted rear window do you? If not then it looks like i will be taking photos of the part numbers of the windows on a van at the dealer....

Tailgate laminated window part number

Hello! Last week someone smashed in (tried to) my tailgate window. Spoken with dealer for a replacement (insurance), they say that laminated T6 tailgate window does not exist and want to fit a tempered window. Does anyone have part number for T6 laminated window with privacy, heated and rear...

Here my OEM Tinted glass. Hope helps you to make a decision. I wouldn’t go darker personally. I’d like it to be darker when it’s very sunny. However in winter time it’s probably a bit too dark. It’s a good compromise all year round.

Just to update. I had the normal glass that was then limo tinted.
Its darker than OEM and for me its the better solution.

Had mine dark tinted for privacy but was worried about overdoing it. Went for a dark but not blackout tint. Virtually nothing can be seen when looking from the outside giving the security I need and from the inside I can see all I need through the rear view mirror giving no problem when reversing up close. The nice bonus is in the morning, wherever I've spent the night I can sit in the little seat at the back with my first coffee and watch the world go by as if I was in a conservatory...without trousers!

Compared to the Camper glass tinted side windows I fitted to my previous van, the OEM tinted side and rear Kombi windows in my new van are not that dark.

Yes, they limit visibility inwards but not by enough IMHO….

Yes, im in the same boat, plus mine leak so i'm looking to get them swapped out rather than have them tinted as the aftermarket glass is stained rather than tint film. Then get the tailgate tinted to match.

Plus your van is black, so if you go for a privacy tint the window looks like it isn't there which in my opinion looks really good! don't quite get the same effect on my grey van!

Interestingly, in certain lights/angles they look like limo tint and not there...

@Skyliner33 I noticed your add for a rear screen For Sale - Genuine VW Tailgate window glass. Heated with wiper hole. Brand new

The screen looks really light/low tint, but is 7e5 845 503 F which from the VW information is classed as tinted. Is it just the lighting and camera, or is 7e5 845 503 F not the correct part number?

@Crazymind your screen looks like a reasoable tint, any chance you could look at the part number and let us know?

Those side windows look like the lighter of the 2 OEM tints To me.

sorry to drag up an old thread, but i am now looking to get myself a heated dark tinted rear window with wiper. Does anyone have the number for the VW item? I listed what i though was the correct part above, (7e5845503F).

I am looking for a dark tint not just the green... I don't want a film.

Anyone have any experience of Van Windows Direct of Castleford?
