Anyone tried Solarplexius window tints?

So these things are basically polycarbonate plastic inserts that behave like a standard film tint but slot into the windows and "just sit there" with clips to hold them in place. I ordered from solarplexius.co.uk/uk/ (not an ad, haven't actually received yet) for £115 with a code for my Gen 3. It's a Swedish company, they're custom shaped to the Jimny and they claim that they're easy to see out of at night etc.

I looked on the forums but couldn't find many people discussing them. Anyone had experiences with them?

I'll come back and update the thread with some pics / my experience once they arrive, which should be tomorrow

So you can't roll the windows down....

Yeah, that's the major downside for many vehicles. But for my Gen 3 with stock rear windows (none of that cool custom gullwing stuff some people do) it's not a problem! I'd only be putting them in the back 3 windows (and indeed that's all you can do because they don't make them for the passenger / driver windows because they'd be too dark to be road legal).

The Gen.4 has "Rear privacy Glass" ie tinted, on the SZ5 variant.

The rules regarding window tint to the front can be found here (at least 75% transmission to the front and 70% for the front side windows)

My Gen 3 has very little tint to the front windscreen and partial tint to the front side windows, I think that is standard.  The rear windows (side and back door) have quite a heavy tint on mine, I think the original owner (he worked at a Suzuki garage, preparing the new cars) put it on as it is obviously a professional job, unless someone replaced the glass?
