Ford rear privacy glass, is it a removable film?

[98elise]

I'm looking for a mondeo at the moment, and a few of them I've seen have "privacy" glass on the rear windows, which I think looks st.

Does anyone know If its a removable film, or coloured glass?

It's glass.

We have a 2007 Titanium-X 2.5T and the privacy glass is black tinted glass as stated above

"looks st"?

Each to their own, I suppose. I was never a big fan, and wouldn't have ticked the option box if I'd bought new, but I think it looks pretty good, to be fair.

And no, you can't scratch it off. My sister's kids tried

Nope, it's darkened glass. When spec'ing my Fiesta, the salesman thought I was mad for not specifying it, since every single one from that dealership had that option ticked! (Metal edition, not every single Fiesta).

Eventually managed to find a cancelled one without, very pleased

I'm sure you could ask them to remove (I know people who have had this done), but I don't think it's cheap.

Horses for courses- I actively look for privacy glass in every car I buy.

I think it looks naff having different tints front and back so I can see where the OP is coming from. May be worth pricing up the normal glass and throwing the tinted stuff in the skip straight after buying?

I think it used to look sort of OK when you could have a light tint on the fronts then a darker one on the rears.

Now, to me, it looks odd when you have virtually clear front and almost black rears.

Given a choice I'd give it a swerve.

I wouldn't buy a car that had the rears tinted and clear fronts,if the cars black they look like vans !

Thats my problem, I'm after a black mondeo. If it has privacy glass in the rear only it looks like a van

I really cant see the point of privacy glass on any car unless you are a celeb of some sorts. Its like having two alloys and 2 steel wheels!!!

Celeb or funeral director's daily runner.

Saying that, my mate who's a funeral director uses a Saab 9-3 Estate with clear glass all round, even left it parked in a main street 'with someone in the car' when he popped into my office last summer (the someone he referred to was the other undertaker who helped him collect the client).
