Green tinted windows
I’m looking to replace my windscreen with a heated version but don’t know if I need a green tinted one or clear one

I really thought my current windscreen was clear until advised on the forum to put a piece of white paper there to check

Photos aren’t the best but now I think it might be the green tinted type

This is white a white piece of paper on the inside against a piece on the outside

What’s people’s thoughts? Is the green tint that subtle?

Thanks

Ade

I would go for green anyway. You barely notice it when looking at it but it does help with glare/dazzle etc.. a fair bit!

Looks like green to me, but as above get tinted anyway, it takes the edge off the heat from the sun.

Have a look at the printing in the corner of the screen, if it say 'Sundym', 'Tinted' or similar then it's a green one.

Here is a picture of an untinted window with paper. Top half is obviously plain paper, bottom half is looking through window onto paper. Hope this helps.

I just ordered and fitted one from heatedwindscreen.com went for a clear but had a phone call from them saying they didn't have any and hadn't sold any in 6 years. Switched to a tinted one and can hardly notice it. Ed
