Privacy Glass (OEM)
OEM privacy glass is the darkened rear side and rear windscreen glass installed at the factory on many SUVs and MPVs, often with VLT of 20–40% already before any aftermarket film.
OEM privacy glass is a manufacturer option, common on SUVs and family vehicles. The darkening is in the glass itself (typically a green or grey dye fired into the glass) rather than applied film.
For Singapore drivers, OEM privacy glass already meets or exceeds the LTA's 25% rear-window minimum. Adding aftermarket film over privacy glass requires care to maintain compliance.
Some workshops install only over the rear windscreen on SUVs, leaving OEM privacy glass on the rear side windows untouched. We recommend matching VLT across all rear glass for visual consistency.
