Tints are an option, and with the light on inside they might as well be clear. :wink:

Certainly with our blinds down its difficult to see in through them, but don't rely on tints for privacy with interior light on. 8)

Mike, my 4 side windows have dark tints plus factory fit electric blinds. Why would you need additional? I've just got the 4 piece set for windscreen, driver and passenger sides plus rear. They do the job perfectly. Is there a different model with no tints?
Yes mine has no tints. And even with tints, if you put the light on inside at night i think someone would be able to see in? The main consideration though is insulation. The other main one (for me) is not wanting to have the sun blasting in when i want blackout for sleeping.
