New CT and original tinted windows question
Hello everybody glad to be among you.
Just received my Spaceship yesterday, Privilege edition (full options except the auto brake thing).
I asked for tinted rear windows thinking it was a "native" thing meaning that the glass is made darker from the begining.
But unfortunately i can clearly see two darker triangles on the sides and the "heating lines" at the back glass.
I have the impression its a cheap "tuning" wrap and not something from the manufacture.
I'm I right or is it normal to see those marks?

There is no factory glass on the CT that comes from the factory pre-tinted.
I took my CT to a glass shop and had ceramic heat-resistant tint installed for about $200. Usually this film costs about $400

Thank you for your answer.
So it was not native but added by the garage... It's a pitty because the result is not so good... On BMW or Mercedes it's done much better...

Had my windows tinted this weekend; paid a total of $450 for Panaflex ceramic; 35% all around except 70% on the sunroof, and the UV clear 70% on the windshield. So far looks great, although it was cloudy all weekend so the windows have not really cured yet. Installer says needs a couple days in direct sun to completely dry.
Makes a big difference in the back window/ trunk area. Can not see in at all even with your face up to the glass.
