@TDCi Guy - do you get reflections off the rear window at night when vehicles are coming towards you?

Or is it OK?

What was the shade used there Rog?

It looks quite light on your photos - although you seem to have all the sun over there! Its dark and grey over here.

Not a shade per se, the shadow of our front hedge, which is quite high, especially when the sun is quite low in Winter...

I certainly do Jim...

If I'm not mistaken, I believe @K9F may have had a cure for that posted fairly recently, perhaps he will drop by and give us a clue...

I do! But then again I had reflections without a tint as well!!
I was going to try something like THIS to see if it makes any difference. Tom

I have the rear screen from Landyglass and you can see out the back in the dark, very little reflection from the inside.

ours is very a dark tint -- its great for camping and I can drive perfectly well with the tint at night and day time
no issues with seeing out - but can't see the fuel pump when filling up if not on the filler side

I don't know if anyone else finds it but I find being a passenger in the back of my wifes VW camper with limo tint in the back and none in the front quite nauseating! there is something about the change in light/contast of being able to see out of both that makes me feel a bit queasy! Never been 'car sick' ever but that does seem to make me feel rough!
