What percentage of tint is on our T-Tops?...

I like the amount of tint on the ttops. You can't see in too easily, but you can see out of them really well. I would like to get tint soon. What type of tint? I don't want pitch black, just enough where ya can't see what everybody's wearin inside lol, ya kno. But I want still to be good enough to see out of them, even at night...

I'm not positive, but next time I go out, I'll check, but I though it was like 15%.

The glass (not Lexan) tops in my '86 read *** follows:

Grey 08
SAFETY FLO-LITE
LOF (Libbey, Owens, Ford)
AS-3
SOLID TEMPERED
J U
DOT 15 M 95A

Hopefully you can somehow convert that to a "percentage".

Yes, the glass is made by a Ford division. That explains why the countour of the roof inserts doesn't follow the contour of the roof section at the rear edge - they f#cked that up, too. In about 1993, GM Noth America started sourcing most of their glass from PPG (Pittsburg Paint & Glass) instead of LOF.
