HI. Does anyone know if the rear side windows and rear window on a JDM 99 Type RA were originally tinted or blacked out? I have a very very dark film on the rear window which is wrinkly and not too bad dark grey sides. Trying to put it back to original.

So the back window is tinted darker than the side windows??
Mine is quite wrinkly and I cant really see out of it. Is this normal?

No darker tinting on the rears or rear screen.

Shouldn't be wrinkly the tint is in the glass, unless some one has added some tint film over the original tinted rears?

Or the glass has been changed at some point?
