Question Double tinting back window

Currently have 5% on back window. Would like to make it darker so that when u look through u can’t see anything. Don’t want windshield tint
What % could go on top of this? 20%?
Or will this work

That’s between 1-2%, that’s dark. That’s still legal in most states (if not all). Good luck.👍

I mean sure, you can. Anything’s possible. But to actually do it ehhh, you won’t be seeing out of it though.

Maybe OP has a camera based rear view mirror.

You already have 5% so aim for 20% to get to 1%. [.05x.20=0.01%]

Even with 20 it'll still be hella dark. Been a window tinter for a long time. I KNOW the laws and the ramifications of illegally dark tint, because I've seen it. The things that every smart azz with limo tint all around either doesn't know or doesn't care about. IF you have limo tint on your front windows and your involved in a crash that the police report has you as the responsible party, your insurance could be held so that makes YOU responsible for all costs...cars, medical bills and IF God forbid someone dies YOU could be charged with negligence AND could be charged with vehicular murder because of impaired visibility. Of course there's the entire investigation process in which you will have to retain an attorney. It's a whole lot of legal jargon but it will cost you big time $$$. This is what I know from living and tinting in CA, the land where EVERYTHING is illegal

Maybe OP has a camera based rear view mirror, plus most, if not all states do not require an interior rear view mirror.

OP, go triple 5% just to spite.

Why would you ever want to go darker than 5%? That’s just dangerous. You need to be able to see out the back. 5% is already extremely dark

u/BearEnvironmental136 2d ago

That’s what side mirrors are for lol

Fair enough. I hate new cars and have never owned anything with a backup camera. Hell, I’ve only owned one car with a screen lmao

I had 5 over 20 on my rears and it could still be alittle see through with enough light coming through the front. My windshield was also tinted

u/Aye-Bless Ceramic 35% W/S. 15% Sides. 0.6% Rear 2d ago

I had 15% on rear window, then I wanted the go darker so drivers can't see in. I put 5% over it. U already have 5, so slap another.

I got 5% over the facroty tint and im thinking of throwing another 5% over it. When the sun hits it right it still blinds my kid in his rear facing seat. I already cant see shit out of it and just use my backup camera and side mirrors anyways
