    Was watching a yu YouTube video from Holland and noticed the rear windows of the gen 4 to be tinted.

    The USA spec four we have appears to have a very light tint for the back windows. Shame we didn't get the back windows tinted like other markets appear to have. Then it would have only needed to get the two front doors done to match the backs.

    Must have been the way the light was shining as I could have sworn the back windows on the doors are slightly darker than the fronts.

    No special tint here in Germany too. Not even as an option, that I recall.

    I double checked. The back windows on the US spec 4 is definitely slightly darker to the fronts.

    We have privacy glass on the rear side and back windows as standard on both models here in Australia. Front ones are darkened, but I had extra tint done at the dealer - it varies from state to state as to what is legal though!

    The back glazing on the US spec one we have is slightly smoked. Had a 15% tint all around minus windscreen a couple days ago

    Did you notice the light tint of the small windows at the front doors? They are a bit darker then the other side windows.
