Default new glass

So what I think I am going to do is to replace the side and rear glass for no tint. I originally thought I could remove the tint, but that is not the case. This takes me to the $$ alternative of replacing the glass. When you go on the OEM parts website they list side glass as green tint and privacy. They also list large and small privacy with images showing a square on the glass. So I have questions. Do they not have clear glass? What is green tint? Does anyone know what they mean about large privacy and small privacy? The tailgate glass does come in CLEAR as well as green tint and privacy. It's all so confusing. I just got tired of the super dark glass all-around (as I matched the tint on the rear with new tint on doors. I have a 2023 90.

Forget whatever you’re looking at. You’re going to want to go here, not whatever dealer websites with that bad info.

This is the legit JLR parts catalog - reference only, you can’t purchase here though, it’s for some reason up on the JLR Classic site even tho the L663 is not a classic vehicle

Back (tailgate) glass

There are only 2 types. Privacy glass. Non privacy glass.

Rear side windows (short wheel base, less commercial version)

I would think the "Non Privacy Glass" selection is going to have a slight greenish hue.

Similar to the pic in your other thread:

"Green tint" is the "clear" non-privacy glass. Large glass is the rear glass without the square.

Is this your truck? It looks so much better, IMO, without the dark tint.n. Got anymore pics?

No not my truck - I thought these pics were from your other thread??

Here's the other:



Don't think mine would look great with Non Privacy Glass since its Eiger Grey with black trim/roof. Looks fantastic in white IMO (and likely all the lighter colors):

I have hakuba silver (sp?) with a black top... im wondering if the colored top makes a diff in the look with the clear glass

The lighter colors prolly work better , I agree

The black roof will make the contrast greater. Maybe photoshop the clear (slightly green tint) glass into an image similar to your rig if you can't locate an existing image online. I would think there are a number in that configuation in Euro-spec. Not going to find them in North American spec...
