I bought my 2003 MM used. There is window tinting on the interior of the windows. The tint ends about 1/8" - 3/16" fron th edge of each glass. Is this factory, or did the previous owner add this. My dealer is unsure. nobody has a new one near by to look at the factory tinting.

If the tinting "ends" anywhere, or you can feel an edge, then it's aftermarket...

Well, now I know. The original owner went darker than stock.

You may ***ahem...cough*** want to check with your local or state DMV to see what level is legal, just to avoid possible hassles in the future...

And just FYI.

Most newer Ford cars come with 17% tint already on the windows.

On my SHO I had 50% added and guess what....my tint meter showed exactly 67%.
