Default green glass

i noticed a natural color of our glass right after i had the tint taken out. why is it greenish? other toyota models have UVS markings when it is this greenish. it is a factory tint that screens UV light thus lesser heat passing through. ours have no UVS markngs though.





this is a green glass with UVS marking. JDM variant. pic taken before putting door glass in our 2000 corolla.

Depending on your color combo you either had the green, brown or bronze tint on the glass from the factory. I don't know much about the markings that your talking about so I can't answer that question.

ok thanks for enlightenng me on the dealer option glass colors. The UVS marking on the 2nd pic is located at the bottom. Sadly I noticed the factory UCF glass has no ultra-violet light screen capabilities like those of UVS glass.

The glass tint is not a dealer option. They come with a certain color tint from the factory depending on the cars color combo.

98-00 USDM models all had UV reflective glass. I can't speak about other markets.

sha4000 hit the nail on the head regarding glass tints.
