I wouldn't bother with privacy glass. What's the point? Esepcially as the law prevents you having it for the front seats. |

Privacy glass is great, keeps the sun off the kids and the dogs.......looks superb too.

In my experience in the Audi/VW scene Pentagon Glass are considered one of the best in the UK, and from what I hear you wouldn't be disappointed and have never heard a bad word about them....however it does look like it would be quite a trek for you to one of their branches.

........don’t have it fitted as it looks awful whether its original or after market, and you don’t really “need it” unless you live in a hot climate. 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

It makes the back ed of the car look much better. You don't get that awful oval shaped rear window that isn't in keeping with the design of the car. Compare

Frobius: If you don't like the oval shapes of the clear part of the glass. So why not disguise it with BLUE glass

i think it give privacy in the back of the car, if you leave the boot cover open, less chance of prying eyes of a chav smashing and grabbing

The ONLY draw back with the privcacy glass is when you want to stick the V's up at someone behind you-they can't see you. |

Privacy glass only encourages false security, as it will probably attract potential car thieves and peeping toms more than normal glass - what they can’t see they want too Whatever you may want to do or hide on the back seat, it’s better to do it where nobody can snoop 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I agree with Andy on this. It can also arouse suspicion about the occupants and their intended activity in some situations. My previous car had factory fitted dark tint rear windows, the only car I have had with it, but I specifically avoided it when looking for a replacement. The darkened glass detracts from the view out (assuming you drive where there is a view worth seeing ) The really dark glass also makes the car look like a van, so why not buy a van in the first place? In our family we refer to cars with heavily tinted windows as "Ugly People Cars" - provides entertainment imagining how ugly the occupants are that they need to be hidden from the public Last edited by AHoy on 21st Apr 2009 9:52 pm.
