Factory Tint

[Pascoscout]

Thanks. Gonna try the eagle one and see what happens.

You can see where I missed a spot removing some of the original tint in the close up where the defroster plugs in, but otherwise the entire back window went from reflective bronze to crystal clear within 10 minutes total.

Have you tried on the side windows?

Have you tried on the side windows?

I haven’t. My rear window looked bad so I cleared it. I left the side ones tinted.

In for more results on the Eagle one for the side windows. Looks like phosphoric acid and hydrogen fluoride are the main active ingredients

The eagle one stuff is not successful on the side windows. It’s simply frosts over and makes the glass opaque. Attempt at your own risk. There is a thread detailing this.

Let's get a group buy organized for JDM clear glass.

@robfl you're making me super jealous of your clear glass - looks amazing! Not sure why slightly mismatched tint bothers me so much, but here we are.

Where did someone source clear glass for the rear doors on the 80?

Have you tried partsouq or mega zip?

No I haven't

No I haven't

Did a quick search and no availability in partsouq, but found it in mega zip, from Japan.

Do you know which part #'s? I checked and there are like 30+ options.

if you tint it dark enough you can hardly notice....

This is only 15% (and 50% on the windshield)

Nice, do you happen to have a picture of the back glass and did yours come with the shiny reflective tint as well? Or did white ones have different tint built in.

Checked the diagrams with my VIN number. My 80 is a US Spec truck. 1992

Got it, thank you

 

[Nikofzj80]

Got it, thank you

Actually, I don't know if my advice is any good, since my truck is US spec, my windows are tinted.
I picked a random General market, and these are the codes that showed up. Hope this helps!

I can take one, are you wanting to see the hatch?

I believe the white ones came with the same factory tint in all the rears.

That would be awesome if you could. I'd like to see how the darker tint works with the slightly different stock tint application on the rear hatch. Mine seems to be on the outside and can be removed or affected from the outside- whereas the other windows seem baked in.

Much appreciated!

Mega zip doesn't state clear but verifying with a picture off partsouq, it looks to be clear. For that cost it may be worth trying to verify first if you could get someone to answer. There seems to be an option to ask questions on the site. I would order a set, even at that cost.

smaller window insert

windshield for $1K while your at it.

split door on the rear so no luck on the clear hatch glass. I would be happy with clear glass and no defrost. Hasn't worked for 15 years anyway...
