It's made into the window. You can't get it, but you can closely match it.

I always liked the older Ranger tint. It was more of a brown than the dark bluish/black that most aftermarket tint is. The rear window has a hint of mirror finish from the outside too.

Too bad you cant buy it like that. I put 20% over it and it retained that mirror look on the rear.

20% over factory and on the door windows looks perfect IMO

my ranger has this brown tint on it, and it is not in the actual glass. it is applied to the inside of the Ranger. This was from the factory. And a little hint... if you have any plastic window cling stickers (the kind you can peel off and move around), if you leave them on long enough they will fuse to the tint material and goof it up....

My buddy had 2.5% limo tint on his rear window and had a few stickers on the outside. After a few years he decided to ditch the stickers, but the tint around the stickers was faded a little so it left a ghost image of the sticker. Actually looked pretty cool IMO.
