i'm not sure, but i know that the bestop replacement windows are 31% tint. it's not factory, but i think they try to match original parts as much as possible.

chances are the back windows and soft top windows/hard top windows should be right around 15 to 20%... most states have a front window minimum tint of 30-32%... GA does at least

They are definetly tinted, or at least as an option. Mine are.

My guess is also around 20% for the factory sides/back, here in TN the limit is 35% on the front sides. I have 20% on my car and it looks about the same as the soft top windows.

Semms like every state has different laws on tint. What I did was get the side windows tinted as dark as legal. It is a bit lighter than the sides, but legal. Most shops that have been in business for a while will have several shades that will match nicely.

Mine are tinted. From what I heard, you got the sunrider windows tinted when you order the "S" package. Mine are very dark, almost the same as the freedom top. But I'm in Canada, maybe a different softer regulation here ?
