I noticed that my two front windows have a streak in the tinting that is noticeable. I don't think I noticed it at first because I am not wearing my sunglasses as much anymore (old age brought back regular glasses!), but when I put my polarized sunglasses on, it's VERY noticeable as a flaw. The streak extends from the top edge of the window all the way down, as much as is visible, and is about 3/8" wide. It's right in the middle of each window and looks basically like it's not tinted as much -- it's not completely clear but not uniform with the rest of the factory tint.

Has anyone else seen this on their truck? I'll try to add a photo later.

I'm planning to get additional tint put on the windows, but my worry is that it'll still be visible with the aftermarket. I'll call the dealer today to see what they say, but I can't take my truck in immediately.

Hello, Andrew! Send us a private message with your VIN and the name and location of your local Ford dealer. I’d be happy to see what I can do to assist with this window concern. Thanks!

Do you mean the rear factory tint? If the front windows are tinted, that is aftermarket.

There's a slight factory tint on the drivers and passengers windows already. Nothing to do with aftermarket. It's not very much tint, but it's not zero either.
