Hi all,

Do all Fiesta STs come with Privacy Glass fitted to the rear windows? I can't remember what mine had (I don't get it 'til Friday), but the darkness of the glass seems to vary across different cars. The pictures of mine seem to show virtually blacked out windows, but this could just be the reaction to the camera flash?

Some STs seem to have windows that you can hardly see through, and yet others seem to just have windows with a black edge?

Is it something to do with how the light hits them? And do all STs come factory fitted with the same degree (darkness) of Privacy Glass, or was it an optional extra?

Thanks in advance!

The rear windows look pretty dark to me.

You should have told her it isn`t a van just a small batmobile. I think black on black looks sweet

Thats why i did not want tinted windows, used to be ok when you could tint the front, and loving on the back seat went out the window years ago, Anyway i would need something bigger than the fiesta to roll around in, I am 17 stone plus.

I've never been called a van thank you very much
My Tints rule they: keep the heat out, the hot sun off your face and keep theives eyes out!
I limo tinted my privacy glass and lightly smoked the fronts to keep legal!
