Default Is my sport tinted?
My build sheet says that the rear quarter and liftgate windows are tinted but it looks the same as my front windows. I was told the stock jeep tint was around 20 percent but this just seems too light.

It looks really light at the rear.....Here's a pic of my Jeep that has the factory tint in the rears and I just had the front tinted to match the back...

I don't know...looks awfully light to me too. This is my '08 X. You can see difference in the front and rear window tint in the photo with the trektop.

My understanding is that a lot of auto glass has a very slight bluish tint

My jk 2 door sport has both the soft top and hard top and they are very noticeably tinted

Your windows in the picture sure don't look like any factory tinting I've ever seen on a wrangler

I'll double check my build sheet and see how they describe the tinting I have

You guys got me worried, I can't see the edge of the tint film from the inside either, they just look like regular windows.

I don't think factory tinting has film, I'm pretty sure it's in the glass itself

Those are NOT in any way shape or form tinted.

I have similar lighting pics in my album of mine and it's tough to see through the jeep and it has OEM windows.

When I ordered my S in March "Deep Tint Windows" were a $300 option. Your windows are definitely not "deep" tinted.
