Tint or no?

[Fubeca]

This may sound pretty stupid - but here goes...

So the wind blew a plastic chair into my driver's side door window on the K5 last week (shattered both to pieces).

I called up LMC and the window was $39.99 plus $10 shipping (not bad)

But she asked if it was tinted or not. She said the tinted was a light green. Anyone know if it is the very, very light tinting that alot of windows have?

I know my window doesn't have a dark tint but it might have a very light tint - any way to tell?

When your glass shattered did it have a thin layer of plastic (tint) still holding parts together?

Thats not what they mean, they come from the factory with a slight green tint in the glass, not an actual film, similar to the rear windows of a Burb, it's in the glass, not a film.

What year is your truck, usually most of the newer ones i believe have this "green" tint in them, you should be able to tell actually, it won't be absolutely clear,,kinda hard to explain i guess.

look at a piece of white paper through the other window. If it has a green tint to it, get the tinted glass, if it is white, get the clear....if it is grey, wash your window and start over again.

Why not just get a window at a local salvage yard ???

Thanks all for the input - it looks like it is slightly tinted. It is from a 1991 blazer.

As far as finding one at a yard - I don't have the time right now. I have no idea where the nearest yard is and I would probably have to spend at least $20 for one around here anyway.

I'll just wait for the big brown truck to drop it off or me

Look at the logo on the one on the other side. If it says something like "Solar Ray" then it's the tinted version. (Odds are about 99% that it came with tinted windows anyway).
