To anyone with 15% or darker tint...

I am getting 15% Suntek all around except windshield next week. Do you have a problem seeing out the back window with the automatic mirror dimmers?

I have 35% on my driver and passenger window, everything else besides the windshield is 5%. I have black leather so it makes it look even darker you can barely see into my car. And no I have no problem seeing out of the back windows.

i have 15 and IMO its the perfect darkness. i was worried i should have gone with 20 when it was being installed but im happy i stuck with the 15

I have 5% rear/rear windows, 20% side, 70% front. at night, it's impossible to see anything when you try to reverse.

if I do it again. I would go 50% front, 70% is still to bright. yes, I am from AZ too. be careful with suntek brand, I have that on the front(because 3M doesn't make 70%) and it gives glare.

I have 15% all around, except on the windshield, and I have no problems seeing out the back at night. I do _not_ have the auto-dimming mirror though, that might be too dark. Is there a way to disable the auto-dimming feature?

i have 15%, and I think its too dark for my taste.. can't see shit really.. so I have to roll down my windows in order to reverse.

I have 35% on all windows except for the windshield, and I think it's just right for privacy and sun protection, at least for my car.
