Sunsafeglass

Ldu · 12-01-2006, 07:27

Hi,

The Sunsafeglass is now available as an option here in Belgium on the Octavia, but I cannot get a lot info about it...

Maybe somebody can help

I would like to know if those glasses are darker the the normal ones. I will order a new car next week and if the Sunsafeglass are quite dark I will take the option combined with the Black Magic colour

Thanks in advance

Luc

If there's one thing which marks drivers out as pretentious ****s, it's dark glass tinting - and it's unsafe. Think again, Luc!

Cheers John, ive got tints on the rear windows of my car. Its there to keep the sun off my 16 month old grandson who spends a lot of time in the back.

But most of all I feel like a proper drug dealer when driving on my own

Probably won't be an option in the UK as there are laws regarding the amount of tinting on the frint side windows. Only the B pillar and back can be a very dark tint.

Yep option over here is for 'sunset' privicy glass is only on the rear windows.

Love the look of tints personally but then i'm a student so guess i'm listed as a little **** anyway

Thanks for the answers... But that don't let me know if the Sunsafeglasses are darker than the normal.

Nobody ha the option on his Octavia ?

John, I agree with you. I do not want "black" windows but I think that darker rear windows on a black Octavia will be nicer

Sorry mate -

Yes they are darker,almost black (I have them on my Octy, rear only).

They look great with the black paint IMHO. I will try and post some pics tomorrow night.

Heres some more without making anyone jealous.

Hope this give you an idea of what the tints are like.

That's a little bit harsh don't you think? I've got window tint all over my car because of the climate of this country I'm in, does that make a pretentious ****? Uncalled for man.

You have to remember that safeglass tinted windows are tinted so light and UV rays are relected off and don't penetrate as much, upto 80%, but this doesn't necessarily mean that it disrupts your vision outside. If you buy cheap dark tints that prove hazardous at night, then I agree, but otherwise you shouldn't be so harsh man.

Ldu, I believe these tints, like I already said, will most probably be dark, but that's from the outside. If they proved hazardous to your vision from the inside, especially at night, I don't see how authorities would allow them to be manufactured.

Is this a factory option or have you had fitted by someone else?. Interested as I'm looking at a Black vRS at the moment.

steviec · 15-01-2006, 12:27

I had the Pentagon http://tinyurl.com/7m8vf tinted safety glass fitted to my old Accord again to keep the sun off my new born at the time and as importantly to stop some scummy **** putting a brick through the windows trying to rob my radio etc.

Must admit though that having the back window blacked out meant I could see the square route of F' all out of the back when reversing at night in a dark area, so had reversing sensors fitted as well.

Privacy glass is factory fit and IIRC around £175 if you spec it.
