I saw this on a newer Acura MDX....

mirrors are not adjusted right. so headlights blind the driver. so they tinted the bottom so the hadlights in the mirror are not as bright.

cab2g · 06-23-2011, 03:55 PM

actually, the top of the front windows are tinted with reflective silver tint. The bottom has no tint!

Neriah · 06-23-2011, 03:58 PM

so they can see out their mirrors at night?

cab2g · 06-23-2011, 04:13 PM

yeah, maybe, but still... why use silver reflective tint in the front only? I was wondering if it is for some medical condition or something.

Some states (like michigan) forbids you from tinting the front windows the entire way down. We only get something like 3-4" of tint, which ends up looking really dumb. But at least it cuts down on the rising/ setting sun glare.

for very short people?

35% tint is allowed in front. What they have is illegal though because it's reflective, so maybe they didn't tint the full window because of the law... but still why not just use non reflective tint and cover the whole window???

Its to block the sun. Their sun visors probably do not block the sun enough when the suns is hitting the side of their face.
