Default Who has the best replacement tinted windows for '12 JK's

1. Looking for 5%, do they sell that level of tint for a soft top?

2. Hoping to match the factory roof.

3. What is the pricing like?

4. Is there anywhere to send my current factory windows and have new panels sewn in???

Typically you get the "standard" tint and that's it. I think qtec writes it as 33% but don't quote me on it. I've got 20 on the front windows to match the factory rear windows. My 20 specs out at 12.

As far as getting new plastic sewn in......never seen or heard of it done.

I have bestop windows that are 34%. They are more brown compared to my 5% doors. Can't really tell unless you shine a light on it.

I picked up a set of the BesTop tinted windows and they fit perfectly. I don't think you'll find any with a 5% tint, and other than the dealership, BesTop is the only place I know of that makes repacement windows. I got mine from Streetsideauto.com for $233.00, that was with a 15% off coupon and free shipping. It was the cheapenst I could find, but like others stated they are the standard 30% to 35% tint. I asked about getting a set through my dealer and was quoted something close to $500, so the BesTop tinted windows are clearly a better deal.

The dealer sells Bestop windows, but you pay the Mopar price- just like any and all of their lift kits.

I bought the windows from the dealership and they're Bestop. I had some credit and didn't want a thousand oil fillers.
