Front door window tint to match factory rear window tint?

[FortyFiveNorthoods]

The Maverick, like many Ford vehicles, coves with privacy tint for the rear door windows. Does anyone know which tint brands readily match with the factory tint?

I've made tint my final offer on the last 4 new cars we've bought. After the 3rd or 4th trip to "run this by my boss" tell the sales person you'll take their offer IF they'll tint the front windows.
They'll either be able to take your counter offer or return in a couple minutes with an OK we have a deal

Then you tell him to put on the order to match the front to the rear as closely as legally possible.

Any decent tint shop will be able to match it

I don't feel like I'll have much leverage due to a pre-order and use of X-Plan. If I walk, they'll likely mark it up and sell it to someone else.

Ask you salesperson who they use.
Use them, ask for the "good ol boy deal" be sure to mention your an X plan customer from your dealership.

I'd rather take tint to a shop where I know what brand and type they're installing rather than whatever the mobile tint guy the dealership uses who does it for $50 a window.

Only caution is that the level of tin applied is likely close to the legal limit in states that regulate the front seat side window tint. I'd be a bit leery of someone willing to tint to whatever level desired without concern for legal authorities giving some input miles/months down the road, roadside..

That’s what I did along with a couple other things. They agreed to the hood deflector, tinting the front windows/windshield eyebrow and the tailgate strut. Sounded good until I found out they took the strut off my 22 and tried to take the hood deflector off but couldn’t. After the botched job on installing the the new hood deflector they supposedly ordered another one 10 days ago but I still haven’t heard that it’s in It better come soon or they won’t like my Google review!

My tint guy measured the rear windows which clocked in at ~25%. He said there will always be some variation from factory.

For ceramic, he had 20% and 35%, I chose 35% for the front since I didn't want to go darker than the back.

I assume that you are in Washington state, where max tint is 24% on the side windows and none on the front and back. Front tinting may look kewl to some weirdos, but its a pain in the ass in night driving. Also, a cop needs to clearly see your hands when he is at the window.
