Tint = AC?

[stefan]

Is it true that tint was only aveable on cars with a/c? I thought i read that somewhere.

If thats the case i know which jy bought this car and i could pull the ac

The tint for A/C cars isn't that dark.

my 89 festy has a/c and no tint

I have yet to find a Festiva that had stock tint; that was with out without A/C...

[Festiva GTX]

The real tint glass with A/C it was very light blue glass than stock one clear color one... I have some pictures i'll post up here soon.

^ Light blue tint glass may come with with A/C

I only have one right side light blue tint glass and other left side was destroy somewhat really hard to find these stock tint glass with A/C



^ Clear glass

[stefan]

darn i thot i was gonna score an a/c setup

[Festiva GTX]

Remember, not all tint glass do come with A/C system on festiva and only very few tint glass would come with A/C on festiva... I have see Festiva with model L-Plus, LX, and GL come with A/C mostly but not all come with tint glass and I don't know why...

That's alright, the tinted glass only changes the shading coefficient by like .1 Not blocking a lot of heat.


And nowadays they do have an aftermarket blue tint. It's supposed to resemble the blue high end glass on stuff like Mercedes Benz. So if you wanted to come close to the blue factory glass.....there's your option.

I think only cars with factory installed A/C will have tinted glass. if it was dealer installed it would have non tinted glass.

I think only cars with factory installed A/C will have tinted glass.

Which makes no sense IMO.

Comeon! If we don't have A/C then give us the tinted glass to help keep out the heat! What were they thinking?



Of course, clear clear glass is about 94% light transmission, which I've never seen it that clear. Usually in the 80% to 90% range. "Tinted" automotived glass is usually 70% to 80% with most being in the 75% range.

I finally found all windows with factory blue glass! it looks nice and not really strong tint but it feel more cooler now

[FoxProGT]

my fest came with ac but no tinted windows... dont know if the ac was stock or dealer installed tho

If it was Dealer it would look like that:





If it was Factory it would look like that:




I like factory setup better tho, since they last more long time I guess and I did tried try disconnect the dealer install hoses on compressor it snap off!

I have dealer installed in my green car with no troubles. I also have a factroy set up for the red car waiting to go in!
