Tinted rear windows for PI cars

[Streamium70]

It seems that only the PI cars have their cars with heavily tinted rear windows (eg. Wish, Stream, Airwave...) as compared to those from AD although LTA have relax the ruling quite some ago. Look at your std Corolla, Picnic, M3... the tinting is only very slight.

 

Any comments?

hey i realized that the wishes are heavily tinted. are they even approved? i mean i'm sure the VLT is less than 30%. i can hardly see inside

normal for PI cars to come with slightly heavier tinted rear windows. as SG is the only country I can think of having to impose such rules in your ride.

in malaysia, VLT for rear windows is still 50%(rear) thou most of their cars are heavily tinted.

My father drives a wish and I think the tint is really dark.. but if you switch on the lght inside you can see everything

[Carmaniac]

then we should heavily mod cars and import them here then say it is factory one

Only PI .........wil Do this..........

so, is the tinting on the Wish and Stream from the PI legal?? If not, I am sure, some would have kena by now on the 3rd year inspection.

 

But, I have to say, the tinting makes the car looks more chiong. On the practical side, it does provide 'protection' to those in the 2nd row in terms of shineshine and makes the car cooler.

No lah, PI also link up with tinting shop what. They should be just LTA compliant unless owner instructs otrherwise. Maybe AD too kia si, ask tinting shop to tint minimal with huge margin for compliance.

 

Wish rear tint is original from Japan IIRC.

According To the PI.........They wil follow LTA Regulation..

Honda Fit Also.........Japan Tinted.........

The tinting from the PI is called Privacy Glass.. it does not offer the UV & IR protection unless the glass itself already has UV protection. The Glass should comply with LTA rulings if not, LTA would have clamped down on them long time ago. Then again, LTA has been rather lax with such things.. preferring to react than to act.

Factory tinted ... on the glass itself, that's the best.

Hi there,

You are right because the last row of wish is not installed with air-con vent.

Which I think why the rear windscreen is so dark.

 

Just wish to understand why people want to see from outside.

What's so difficult to understand?

[Cordia_gsr]

Yes, you are right. I've noticed that the Wish's factory rear windows are very dark. When up for additional tinting, Wish will have to go for totally clear tint to pass the VLT test.
