EK9 Tinted Rear Glass - Inside or Out?

[harVTEC]

Hello everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help, I've recently bought an EK9 tailgate for my Jordan, which of course has tinted glass. There are some scratches in the screen which I want to remove, I have access to all of the right equipment to do this. But can't figure out which side of the glass is tinted.

As far as I'm aware the factory tint isn't a film, and is dipped / sprayed or something along them lines, unless someone can correct me? Maybe someone with factory tints has somehow removed them?

Obviously if it's the outside of the glass that is coloured this will need to be taken into account when cutting the scratches out.

Thanks in advance!

As far as I know all tints are inside. Try heating a corner slightly and pick at it that way, it should come away.

I'm pretty sure the colour is actually in the glass rather than on it.

I stand corrected and bow to superior knowledge.

Ha ha, I could be wrong though, but I'm pretty sure it's made in the same way as say a tinted front screen or lightly tinted side glass etc

It's the glass that's coloured I believe. You won't damage it

Tbh I completely miss read it and thought it was an aftermarket tint.

Thanks for all the responses people, the glass itself being coloured would definitely explain why I couldn't figure out which side was tinted! At least I can safely cut it back now.

Cheers again!
