SE spec window tinting

[sczoo]

Morning all,

I know most on here have gone for the trophy model so this is more for us SE owners. I couldn’t find anywhere if MG has tinted any of the rear windows from factory obviously the trophy has.

Does the car get warm in the sun? I was reading an an issue with an early model MG saying they get to warm inside?

I’m going to book a tinting company to do mine I think because I’m one of those strange ones who hates the heat ? so I’ve provisionally booked in a company called Global Tint as their reviews seemed very good and have been mentioned a few times on this forum (under different MG types).

Thanks all, and happy Friday! ?

FWIW the SE spec in the MG4 has never included tinted rear windows. (Although the first batch of SEs that came to the UK were fitted with tinted windows - I have one of them).

Photo below is of my car when I first got it, so you can see the level of tinting:

Ah that makes sense thanks for confirming that. That looks really nice indeed ? Ooh you got lucky being the first few. The dealer sent me a video of my actual car and it’s so hard to make out what it’s got but I think thetr completely clear so I have a back up just incase

A side view of the SE would suggest that the rear windows are no more tinted than the front windows.

From an interior shot, it appears to be clear glass.

Hi Sczoo, what % tint are you going for, or have you decided yet. I am in a similar situation and I am still deciding between 35% and 50%. The SE is the Excite spec over here and does not come with privacy glass. I have had to get the rear windows on my last few cars tinted for the same reason as you. It also helps to reduce the glare of the headlights from following cars.

I’m going for 40-50% tint I think, no seems the same spec as mine actually. I’ve never had to get a car tinted as all my other cars have had this as standard so the MG will be a first for me, between the cost of the tinting and extra insurance cost so far cars cost me quite a bit ?

I'm beginning to wonder, if I have made the right decision.

I’m exactly the same as you Declan! Getting messed around with the dealer, false promises all this headache and stress for a car I’ve not yet had really thinking about calling it quits and buying a new Nissan juke tbh as really good on MPG 60+ and stylish looks ?
