Privacy Glass UV protection (OEM tint %) - Nissan Murano

Qat · 10-14-2010, 05:20 PM

I'm planning to get UV/tint film installed and I was curious about the native UV protection provided by the MO's privacy glass. So I sent an inquiry to Nissan:

I am a new Murano owner and will be adding UV protection film to at least some of the windows. Do you have information on the amount of UV protection inherently provided by the vehicles windows? I'm interested in UV penetration numbers for:

- front windscreen
- first row side windows
- second row side windows
- cargo area side windows
- cargo area rear hatch window
- moonroof windows

They've replied with:

I have seen various comments about Nissan's poor customer service. It's funny that on a Toyota forum (we have a couple of Camry's in the herd) someone posted about contacting Toyota support and getting the numbers back the very same day.

When we checked my factory tinted glass before i put limo over it, my friend's tool read something like 25-30%. But now i put 5% over it so its dark.

Is that ultra violet protection or just % tint?

turbizzy · 10-17-2010, 03:24 AM

Thats tint %. My bad i just reread it and OP asked about UV protection. That i don't know.

Got a reply. The information was in a nice table in the email that did not translate well to the forum. So I've neatened it up as best I can. It seems like all the glass blocks >/= 92% of UV.

Cool. How's this? I also corrected some errors in the previous post (got some digits in the wrong place for thickness and Tv).

**njjoe** · 12-08-2010, 11:51 AM

A double nice job!

It is now a "stickie".

Wow, I knew windshield was tinted but not so much that it would block 21% of light! It is also great to know that 100% of UV gets blocked by the windshield and very little gets through from the other glasses.

Here's what I want to know. I understand that aftermarket tint is a film that's adhered to the inside of the window. By what method does factory glass achieve its tinted/UV protective characteristics?

From what I have read factory glass is actually dyed glass.
Aftermarket "Tint" is a film that is appied to glass as you mentioned in your post.
