I was thinking of having my windows tinted (just the back 3) but the the places ive had quotes from have all been around the £250 mark. Is this a bit steep or is that what i should be looking at paying?? Wish id had it done when i got the car!

is that from ford or someone else... think u can get the privacy glass direct from ford ?????

It was from another company. Maybe i'll try ford then!! you would think id get it cheap cos my Godfather owns a window tinting company but he wouldnt even give me a discount

Hi Lisa,

£250 Seems pricey for just getting the 3 back windows tinted. I had mine done for £120 at National Windscreens. Top job, completely flawless

The privacy glass is dipped glass (whatever the heck that means) not glass with a tinted film over it.

Looks wicked, what shade did u go for? And im guessing with a name like 'national windscreens' theyll fit anywhere?

Ive just found a National Windscreens near you.

Im not sure exactly what the shade is. All i know is its 3 tints below limo black & the tint they used is made by Solar Gard. I asked for mine to be close to the factory tint as possible

Kool, thanks chick

Just found my reciept: HP charcoal 22HCX3 is the grade of tint on my 3 windows

Closest to standard factory, No problems with seeing out the back window when its dark & not to light in the day time

Hope this helps

Hi Lisa,

a lot of dealers will use mobile tinters to do the windows of thier cars if someone wants it done when its sold and doesnt already have it. Might be worth talking to your local ford dealer to ask if they use anyone like this. That way they may honour your warranty if anything was to go wrong with the window catches etc. Might be worth a go.

U guy call it "Privacy Glass" .. here in SA we call it Anti Smash and Grab.

From what you've said I can well understand that!

dont get ur windows done by a mobile tinter if u havnt had them done already...go 2 a place where they have a dust free environment, i know a good place in london if u ever come down this way...always better to pay that bit more and get the job done properly

or u can buy tints off ebay and put them on your self, i did this with my zetec and it wernt a bad job although i didnt have the patience to do the back window was quite hard....

Does anyone know if you can tint the front two windows if you already have the privacy glass? If so, how dark can you go legally??
