What is the difference between after-market tinting and factor tinted windows?
Some truck and sport utility vehicles come from the manufacturer with glass that has been darkened using an electrical process called deep dipping . This factory tinted glass is a dark shade, but does not protect the interior of a vehicle from the sun s heat or damaging UV rays as well as after market window tinting. Major film manufacturers have formulated tinting materials to closely match the factory tinted glass allowing the front door windows of some truck SUV s have window tint with a legal matching shade. It is also possible to apply after market window tinting over factory-tinted glass to make the windows darker and to improve performance.
