Tinting windows
Does anyone know what the Tint on the 97-01 Jeep Cherokees are?
Im looking at eathier 35% or 20%, 5% is way too dark. And if I know the OEM tint on the Jeep Cherokees that would be fine.
I live in PA. http://www.tintcenter.com/laws/PA/
This is a 1999 Jeep Cherokee with its stock tint.

I can look on my 2000 Hatch but its in storage right now and don't feel like going up to look.

The stock tint on my Jeep is like looking through a dirty window, Clear with very light tint, Id say on the scale it shows, its 50% or none
View bottom images on this page. You can see how clear it is. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/19...-49861/index7/

If you know where it might say, I can look on mine, it's a 99 Limited and this is what factory tint looks like on it.

OK, it didn't say tint anywhere, but these are all the numbers:
V dot 18 PPG M537P
AS3 8 26
E2
43 R-005092 8
I'm figuring it's #2 tint?
if you can decifer these numbers maybe it'll tell you something, sorry I hoped I could be more helpful, I even looked in the owners manual and it didn't say.

Stock windows ARE NOT paper tints and are baked into the glass. The stock tint is around 20%. my aftermarket front tint is 20% and are slightly darker. Anything darker than 35% becomes vert difficult to drive at night without any street or exterior lighting. 40 would be great.
