A nice feature for headlight glare only at night now useless because of tint. 3. The refection glare off the tint of the light colored dash inside of the car when looking out the driver's window was irksome. I have a tight parking spot between two pillars. Because of the reflection issue I had to start opening the windows so I could see the driver's outside rear view mirror in order to properly glide the Azera between the two pillars. I just bought a new Genesis and will not tint its windows for the safety reasons above. |

Replying to: toye (Jun 10, 2009 2:02 pm) Not sure what the legal limit is where you're located, but here in MD it's 35% and I can tell you, visibility doesn't diminish to the point you can't see. As far as the auto dimming rear view mirror, it depends on the lights hitting it. There are times mine still dims when lights hit it, but for the most part...there's no need for it to dim because the tinted rear window takes care of the glare. Reflection glare off the tint of the light colored dash??? I've got the beige interior and I have no issues with any reflections or glares getting in the way of me parking. Maybe it's the type of tint you had installed, not sure. Also, you may try a lighter shade of tint next time too. Trust me, you & your car (leather & dash) would benefit from extra UV protection.

Replying to: allmet33 (Jun 11, 2009 7:43 am) Yeah I thought I'd love the tint when I got it, but it had the unexpected consquences that I described in the earlier post. I found out that 35% tint was too dark for my needs. The Genesis windows have noticably darker tint that comes from the factory perhaps twice as dark than my Azera, yet much lighter than the 35% limit. This is noticable when looking into the car. This better suits my needs. I'll tell you the 2 years and 55k miles later never had a major problem with my Azera except when the A/C compresser went out at 20k. The Azera remains a beautiful car.
