    Hello everyone,
    I just picked up a 2023 SR5 and wanted to know what the factory window tint percentage is on the back windows? I plan on tinting the two front widows and want it to match the back.
    Thanks for the input and help!

    20% on the fronts seems to match the rears pretty well.

    The rear privacy glass is about 26%.

    That's not very dark and CIR tint has great clarity, so I had my guy throw 20% all over all the glass with 70% on the full shield. Looks great and there's a color shift to the rear so cops won't give you trouble even with the front darker than legal here.

    I went with 20% on the front and that matched the back good enough for me.

    Just have the tint shop use their meter to see what % it rings out to and they can try to match it.

    20% or 35% will work fine. I had 35% on the front windows on mine and it wasn't obvious that the rears were a little darker.

    I pretty much did what most folks here have done, I told my local tint shop to match the rear windows on my '22 and they did it without even thinking about it. Very easy!
