Yeah it was a weird fad of the late 90ies. To be honest I thought the mirror tint on the RX looked cool, but to be fair I was like 12!

I have tinted my front windows and sunroof and windshield top (6"). Here are some crappy pics but I'll take some better ones soon.

35% front sides
5% windshield and sunroof

I never understood why the sunroof on the pathfinder was CRYSTAL CLEAR. I got toasted every bleeping time I wanted some light.

PS: Mirror tint does kinda blow.

PPS: Does anyone know how to moisturize those window moldings? You can see especially the driver's window bottom looks nice and old :/

Everyone I talk to says don't tint the sunroof a dark color the heat can cause the glass to bust.


Not sure what the stock tint on the rear of a 04 pathy is but I had my other windows matched and I am looking at getting 50% on the windshield.

Oops....well, be on the lookout for a "My Sunroof Imploded On Me" post haha! *crosses fingers*
My shop said 15% in the back but I'm not sold on that number.

My TL had a stock tinted sunroof and no problems. Right now I have to close the sunroof cover when it's sunny out because it's baking me. Also if I forget to close it in the evening, the next day my seats are burning!

Yours is not 5 %. I guess it depends where you live also. In Nc I can cook cookies on the dash in the summer.
